“…The imine moieties are important intermediates and versatile starting materials for the synthesis of chiral amines [23,24], pyrimidine derivatives [25], phenylhydrazones [26,27], Mannich bases [28], indoles [29], quinoxalines [30], imidazoles [31], amino triphenylmethanes [32], Michael adducts [33], allyl products [34], optically active α-alkyl aldehydes [35,36] by hydrogenation [37], nucleophilic addition with organometallics [38] and cycloaddition reaction [39]. Many reagents have been used for the synthesis of optically active imines such as solid super acids, K-10 montmorillonite [40,41], Tandam catalysts [42], MnO 2 [43], CaO [44], ZnCl 2 [23,24], MgSO 4 -PPTS [26,27], alumina [45], Ti(OR) 4 [46], CuCl [47], MCM-41-SO 3 nanocatalyst [48], P 2 O 5 -SiO 2 [49] promoted by microwave irradiation [43], Cinchona alkaloid-thiourea [50], Infrared [51,52] and ultrasound radiation [53].…”
