Abstract

Aminoalkylation of vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) was achieved by reactions of vanillin with formaldehyde and suitable amine in acetonitrile. The products aminoalkyalted vanillin compounds 1-5 were purified by column and thin layer chromatography and identified by spectroscopic methods viz. UV, IR, NMR and mass spectrometry.

Keywords
