Metal chelates of 3-amino-2-substituted crotononitrile

ABSTRACT

Synthetic heterocyclic organic chemistry involves specially designed reagents which are readily generated and then used to provide molecules built-in functional moieties usually utilized several applications. Important examples of such reagents are Beta-amino crotononitrile which have been proven to be valuable in the synthesis of a wide variety of unique heterocyclic systems such as pharmaceuticals, fungicides and solvatochromatic dyes [1-4]. It is known that metal complexes have greater activity than the coordinating agents themselves [5]. Synthesis and characterization of solid complexes of several transition metal cations were the primary concern of our earlier work [6-15]. However, it seems that no studies have been made on the complexes of compound [I] in the solution phase or in the solid state, which will be investigated in the present study. Conductometric, spectrophotometric measurements are used for characterization of some of these complexes as well as elemental analysis, magnetic measurements and spectral [electronic, IR] studies. The mechanism of the chelation process will also be investigated for each of the different ions used
