A Study on the Condensation Reaction of 4-Amino-3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazole with Benzaldehydes: Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of Some New Stable Hemiaminals.

Studies on the stable hemiaminals and Schiff bases formation in the reaction of substituted benzaldehydes with primary 3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazole 4-amine were carried out under neutral conditions. These products were investigated by IR, Raman, MS, ¹H- and (13)C-NMR spectra as well as by X-ray crystallography. The effect of reaction conditions: temperature, polarity of the solvents utilized, substrate concentration and the ortho and para benzaldehyde substituents on the yield of products was also examined.
