The novel phenolic Mannich bases 2,2’-(2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethylbenzylazanediyl)diethanol (1) and 2-((2-(4- (2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethylbenzyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethylamino)methyl)-4,5-dimethylphenol (2) have been synthesized in good yield by using a microwave-induced technique from 3,4-dimethylphenol and corresponding amines in the presence of formaldehyde. Metal complexes of 1 and 2 for Ni(II) (3 and 5) and for Cu(II) (4 and 6) have also been prepared and all compounds have been characterized by elemental and spectral analyses. |
