Synthesis of some Schiff bases of cinnamaldehyde by employing microwave irradiation

A series of Schiff bases have been synthesized by the reaction of Cinnamaldehyde with some substituted amines namely o-toluidine, m-toluidine, p-toluidine, p-chloroaniline and p-aminophenol by microwave irradiation method. Structures of the synthesized products were confirmed by using spectroscopic techniques ( FT-IR and ^1H-NMR) and elemental analysis CHN.
