Synthesis and characterisation of new Schiff base monomers containing N-(alkyl and phenyl) pyrrole moieties

Abstract

This article deals with the synthesis and characterisation of seven new functional Schiff base monomers, such as: M1: 1-(3-Pyrrole-1-yl-propylimino-methyl)-naphtalen-2-ol; M2: 2-(3-Pyrrole-1-yl-phenylimino-methyl)-phenol; M3: 1-(3-Pyrrole-1-yl-phenylimino-methyl)-naphtalen-2-ol; M4: N-(pyridin-2-yl-methylene)-2-(pyrrol-1-yl)-benzenamine; M5: N-(pyridin-2-yl-methylene)-3-(pyrrol-1-yl)-propan-1-amine; M6: 2-(3-pyrrol-1-yl-propylimino-methyl)-quinolin-8-ol; M7: 2-(3-pyrrol-1-yl-phenylimino-methyl)-quinolin-8-ol.Two series of compounds emerged from this study, N-propyl pyrrole derivatives (M1, M5, M6) and N-phenyl pyrrole compounds (M2, M3, M4, M7). All monomers were elaborated by condensation reactions between appropriate amines and aldehydes, and their molecular structures were confirmed by spectroscopic analysis methods like FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and GC-MS.
