3-Aminopyridine Salicylidene: A Sensitive and Selective Chemosensor for the Detection of Cu(II), Al(III), and Fe(III) with Application to Real Samples.

Interest in developing selective and sensitive metal sensors for environmental, biological, and industrial applications is mounting. The goal of this work was to develop a sensitive and selective sensor for certain metal ions in solution. The goal was achieved via (i) preparing the sensor ((E)-2-((pyridine-3-ylimino)methyl)phenol) (3APS) using microwave radiation in a short time and high yield and (ii) performing spectrophotometric titrations for 3APS with several metal ions.

Crystal structure of ()-furan-2-carbaldehyde -benzoyloxime.

In the title compound, CHNO, the benzoate and furan rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 11.68 (9)°. The twist angle between the -COO group and the benzene ring is only 2.
