Abstract

While the direct condensation of an aromatic aldehyde with an aniline produces a Schiff s base with high efficiency,'the success of an analogous reaction with a diary1 ketone is strongly dependent on steric hindrance in both the carbonyl and amine reactants. For example, attempted reactions of benzophenone with 2, 6-dimeth~ laniline,~~
