Abstract

The formation of the furanyl aryl imine N-[4-(2-furanylmethyleneamino)benzylidene]furan-2-amine (1) was accomplished by the condensation of furfural with 1,4-benzenediamine. The structure of the dimine 1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis and displayed the expected, “zigzag” or trans conformation about the imine bond. Quantum chemistry calculations were carried out to model the electronic and molecular structure of 1 and to corroborate experimental characterizations.
