1. The aldehyde then spontaneously converts to the corresponding Schiff base , ? 1-piperideine. 2. Schiff base formation confirms the biosynthesis of the " N "-methyl-? 1-pyrrolinium cation.3. Notice the schiff base loses a CO2 and adds to water. 4. At this step, there must be an alpha hydrogen present to form the Schiff base . 5. In 1968 RyMji Noyori developed a copper-Schiff base complex for the metal-carbenoid cyclopropanation of styrene. 6. It is well known that a Schiff base is more stable than a regular imine. 7. Written by Larry Gross, Paul Brickman and Steven Schiff based on the novel by Tom Rooker. 8. It belongs to a class of chiral diimine ligands that are synthesized via the Schiff base condensation. 9. An example where the substrate forms a Schiff base to the enzyme is in the amino acids. 10. Schiff base hydrolysis yields two 3-carbon products.
