The spectroscopic and hydrolytic degradation behaviour of some N-benzylideneanilines are investigated experimentally and theoretically via high quality density function theoretical (DFT) modelling techniques. Their absorption and vibrational spectra, accurately predicted by DFT calculations, are highly dependent on the nature of the substituents on the aromatic rings, hence, though some of their spectroscopic features are similar, energetic differences exist due to differences in their electronic structures. Whereas the o-hydroxy aniline derived adducts undergo hydrolysis via two pathways, the most energetically economical of which is initiated by a fast enthalpy driven hydration, over a conservative free energy (ΔG?) barrier of 53 kJ mol?1, prior to the rate limiting entropy controlled lysis step which occurs via a conservative barrier of ca.132 kJ mol?1, all other compounds hydrolyse via a slower two-step pathway, limited by the hydration step. Barriers heights for both pathways are controlled primarily by the structure and hence, stability of the transition states, all of which are cyclic for both pathways.

The present work is devoted to the synthesis and study of the structural and electronic properties of three Schiff bases prepared from para-aminophenol under green chemistry conditions. These compounds were successfully synthesized in excellent yields. The synthesized Schiff bases have been characterized by Elemental analysis, FTIR, and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopic methods. The molecular geometry, Mulliken atomic charges and vibrational analysis of the studied compounds were investigated theoretically by performing density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP/6-31G++(d,p) method. Moreover, these compounds were screened for antibacterial activity. These compounds were found active to be the most active against all the bacteria investigated. The antibacterial activities have been correlated with chemical reactivity parameters and other electronic parameters looking for any relationship between electronic parameters and biological activity. This effort just provides preliminary data for some biological properties. The results are very encouraging, so we can say that these products are biologically active and can be used later in other applications towards drug development.
Additional effect of para-hydroxyl on the reduction potentials of the N-benzylidenebenzenamines

The reduction potential ERed of disubstituted N-benzylidenebenzenamines XArCH NArY (abbreviated as XBAY) is a measure of the electron acceptance ability of the Lowest-energy Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) in molecule, which is closely related to the electronic effects of substituents X and Y in molecule. Previous studies on the ERed of XBAY reported by Luo, Wang, and Yuan all did not involve these molecules containing hydroxyl. In this work, 28 samples of disubstituted N-benzylidenebenzenamines containing para-hydroxyl, (abbreviated as 4-OHBAY or XBAOH-4′) were synthesized, and their ERed values were measured. Then, 127 compounds were taken as a complicated ERed data set, which involved 28 compounds (4-OHBAY and XBAOH-4′) of this work and 99 compounds XBAY reported by Luo. Based on these data ERed set, through a quantitative regression analysis method and comparison of the factors affecting the ERed, the following results are obtained: (a) Because the phenolic hydroxyl OH can dissociate H+ to form phenolic oxygen anion, the change regularity of ERed of compounds 4-OHBAY and XBAOH-4′ is somewhat different from that of ERed of XBAY compounds without hydroxyl OH. That is, hydroxyl OH has an additional effect on the ERed, which decreases the ERed value. (b) The additional effects of 4-OH on the ERed is different from that of 4′-OH. The effect of hydroxyl OH attached to the aldehyde aromatic ring on the ERed is more than that of OH attached to the amine aromatic ring.
