Experimental Studies of Schiff Base (E)-4 Phenol Compound With Various Spectroscopic Methods

Abstract

Schiff-based compounds, which represent an important class in the field of organic compounds, form the basis of this research article. This research article aims to investigate the synthesized compound (E)-4-methoxy-2-(((2-phenoxyphenyl) imino) methyl) phenol using experimental methods. FTIR, UV-Vis, 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods were used to elucidate the structural properties of the compound synthesized at the end of chemical processes. The structure solution was carried out from the data obtained as a result of X-ray analysis. According to these results, one of the two compounds in the asymmetric cell completed their formation in the enol-imine form and the other in the keto-amine form. This structural situation, which is rare in the literature, was supported and explained by FTIR, 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy studies. According to the results obtained as a result of UV-Vis spectroscopy, the structure revealed that the enol-imine form was dominant. The reasons for this situation were explained.
