Schiff base refers to a class of compounds formed by condensation of primary amines with carbonyl compounds. They contain imine (-C=N-) functional group with multiple applications ranging from medicinal use, industrial purposes, catalytic activity and contribution as ligands in co-ordination compounds. An experimental research study was conducted to synthesize schiff base compounds using m-Nitrobenzaldehyde and p-Chloroaniline. The nitro group in the schiff base was then reduced into an amino group. The resultant compounds 4-Chloro-N-[(E)-(nitrophenyl)methylene]aniline and 4-Chloro-N-[(E)-(aminophenyl)methylene]aniline were synthesized successfully. The synthesized schiff base compound and the reduced schiff base compound were then successfully characterized using FT-NMR and other parameters such as melting point, colour, nature, etc. This study has been done keeping in mind the wide range of application of schiff base compounds.
