Synthesis, Characterization and Computational Studies of Novel (E)-N-(3,4-Dimethoxybenzylidene)naphthalen-1-amine

Abstract

Novel (E)-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)naphthalen-1-amine (DBNA) ligand has been synthesized by refluxing 1-naphthylamine and 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde in methanolic solution for 5-6 hours. The obtained compound was characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR and 1H-NMR. All the spectral data confirmed the structure of the ligand.
