Phosphorus-Containing Azomethines Based on Salicylaldehyde and Thiosemicarbazide

摘要

Recently, azomethines derived from aromatic aldehydes and thiosemicarbazide and their metal complex compounds with a wide range of metal salts were intensively studied. Some thiosemicarbazones of aromatic aldehydes possess melanin inhibitory [1] and high antibacterial activity [2]. They can be used as inhibitors of carbon steel in salt water [3], inhibitors of decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide [4] and as components of the high-sensitive copper membranes [5]. Their nickel complexes are effective catalysts for C-C coupling [6]. Some of the copper and nickel complexes showed antibacterial [2], and palladium complexes anti-malarial and anti-tumor properties [7]. Also they are catalysts in the cyclopropanation reactions of unactivated olefins [8].
