Abstract
This work has been carried out to investigate the catalytic activity of some
Schiff Base complexes in cyclopropanation of non-activated olefins. Ten new Schiff
base ligands were prepared (three diamines and seven thiosemicarbazones) and
Characterized by elemental analyses and spectral studies (IR, NMR, UV and mass
spectroscopy). One of the prepared diamine ligands was optically active. Moreover,
some transition metal complexes of these ligands were prepared by the reaction of
the transition metal ions with these new ligands, and characterized by elemental
analyses, spectrophotometric studies (IR, NMR, ESR and UV-Vis.), molar
conductivity and magnetic moment determinations beside ESR measurements to
enable the elucidation of the geometrical structure of the prepared metal complexes.
The results came with good agreement with the proposed structures. Some of the
prepared copper and cobalt complexes were investigated for their catalytic activity in
cyclopropanation of non-activated olefins and some of them showed an excellent
reactivity with a moderate to excellent selectivity. Five of the examined copper
complexes can be used as catalysts in industry.
