Schiff bases and their complexes are good candidates as versatile compounds which are synthesized by the condensation of a primary amino compound with either aldehydes or ketones for a variety of industrial applications. They can act as catalysts in the catalytic oxidation of organic compounds. Recent researches in oxidation catalysis have focused on how to employ the metal‐catalyzed oxidation of organic substrates. This review summarizes the current developments of the last few decades for the oxidations of organic compounds that proceed through Schiff base complexes. The chemical syntheses of Schiff bases and their complexes are outlined.
