Abstract
Condensation of 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol with 9-ethyl-9H-carbazole-3-carbaldehyde in absolute ethanol under stirring condition resulted in the formation of 1,3-bis{[(E)-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylidene]amino}propan-2-ol within 0.5 in an excellent yield. The structure of the desired Schiff base was physically analyzed via CHN-elemental analysis, TOF-MS, UV-vis, FT-IR, and H-1 & C-13-NMR. Computational studies of the structure were performed at the DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d) level of theory. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), Mulliken charge, IR-B3LYP, and structure optimization were performed.
