“…Schiff bases, derived from aromatic amines and aromatic aldehydes are reported to be involved in the study of asymmetric catalysis [5] ,magnetic properties [6], photochromism [7], binding with DNA [8], construction of supra molecular structures [9], the study of activity against Ehrlichascites carcinoma (EAC) [10], the field of dyes and pigments [11], the development of corrosion inhibitors [12], anti-HIV [13] and in the evaluation of physical properties in the crystalline state [14]. Optically active imine derivatives possess multipronged biological activities such as antimicrobial [15], anticancer [16,17], antiplasmodic-antihypoxic [18], antitubularcular [19,20], nematicidal-insecticidal [21], anti-inflammatory, and lipoxygenase [22]. 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].…”
