Aconvenient synthesis of secondary amines fromimines by usingNaBH4

Subhash B.Junne, Sandeep V.Kha

Abstract

The secondary amines have been prepared by the reaction of various Schiff bases by using sodium borohydride as a selective reducing agent. The Schiff bases were synthesized by the condensation of 2- Chloro -6-methyl quinoline-3-carboxyaldehyde with substituted iodoanilines. The structures of compounds have been confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized compound has also been screened.
