“…For example, salicylideneaniline ( 1 , Scheme 1 ) derivatives are effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv [ 36 ]. The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ] of salicylideneaniline derivatives, which incorporates transfer of a hydroxyl proton to the imine nitrogen through a pre-existing intramolecular hydrogen bonding configuration, has also been extensively investigated in the literature [ 55 , 56 ]. As shown in Figure 1 , the resulting proton-transfer tautomer (keto-form) exhibits significant differences in structure and electronic configuration from its corresponding ground state, i.e.…”
