2-((4-hidroksifenil)imino)metil)fenol bileşiğinin NaBH4 ile indirgenme reaksiyonunun FT-IR ile çözelti ortamında izlenmesi

Imines are formed by reaction of aldehydes and ketones with primary amines. Reduction of imines provides substituted amines. Amines and imines which are used in many branches of industry and organic synthesis are important compounds of interest in chemistry. In this study, the corresponding imine compound (2-(((4hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol) was synthesized by the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 4-aminophenol. Reduction of C=N double bonds of imine compound in solution medium was monitored by FT-IR using the reaction start background identification method. Reduction of 2-(((4hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol with NaBH4 was investigated in solution in FT-IR liquid cell at room temperature. Reduction of the imine with NaBH4 produced the secondary amine (2-(((4-hydroxyphenyl)amino)methyl)phenol). The structures of the purified 2-(((4-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (imine) and the resulting 2-(((4hydroxyphenyl)amino)methyl)phenol (secondary amine) were elucidated by FT-IR, HNMR and C-NMR analysis.
