Abstract:A new Schiff base ester, 3-hydroxy-4-{ [(4-bromophenyl) Schiff bases have attracted overwhelming attentions from many researchers owing to their importance in exhibiting thermochromism and photochromism [1][2][3][4]. The presence of a long alkyl chain at the para position of the aldehyde or aniline fragment of N-benzylideneanilines has been regarded as one of the important elements which favours the existence of liquid crystal phases [5][6][7]. Different terminal chain length can significantly influence the anisotropic properties of liquid crystals [5]. Thus, we report here another new derivative containing an octadecanoyloxy chain, 3-hydroxy-4-{[(4-bromophenyl)imino]methyl}phenyl octadecanoate.

A new Schiff base ester, 3-hydroxy-4-{[(4-chlorophenyl)imino]methyl}phenyl octadecanoate, was synthesized and its IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS spectroscopic data are presented
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
