Amino compounds and their derivatives are very important in molecular biology because of their roles in biochemical reactions. We need more information about their molecular structures in order to learn about their functional roles in biological systems. The formation of amino compound Schiff base intermediates in reactions of biological importance, transmation, racemization and decarboxylation is well documented. In recent years, amino compound Schiff bases have been used as ligands in coordination chemistry. 1,2 Intramolecular electron transfer is a fundamental chemical phenomenon that relates specifically to redox processes that occur in both and systhetic electron-transfer systems. 3 Sterically hindered ligands bearing salicylaldimines are known to be effective antioxidants, and are widely used in the rancidification of fats and oil. 4 Synthesis of crystal. N-[5-Methylisoxazole amino-3-yl]-3,5-ditert-butylsalicylaldimine ligand was synthesised by the reaction of 0.234 g of (3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) in 25 ml of absolute ethanol and 0.108 g 3-amino-5-methylisoxalc in 20 ml of ethanol. Also 3-4 drops acetic acid were added. The mixture was refluxed for 10 h, followed by cooling to room tempareture. Crystals were filtered, the product was recryztallised from ethanol. The product was soluble in common solvents such as CHCl3, DMF, CH3COCH3 (propanon or aceton) and DMSO. X-ray. Single crystals suitable in size (0.40 × 0.30 × 0.20 mm) x185
