Fungicidal Activities and Mass Spectral Studies of Some Schiff Bases Derived from para-Hydroxybenzaldehyde and Their Derivatives

Department of Chemistry, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar-751 004 A new series of Schiff bases derived from 4-substituted, 4,5-disubstituted-2-aminothiazoles, substituted-Z-aminobenzothiazoles and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde was synthesised. Condensation of the Schiff bases with chloroacetylchloride and subsequent reaction with piperidine and morpholine yielded corresponding acetoxy derivatives. Cycloaddition of the Schiff bases with thioglycollic acid yielded thiazolidinone derivatives. The com- pounds were characterised by elemental analysis, ir and mass spectra and screened for their fungicidal activity
