Benzophenone derivatives are reported to show biological activities such as cytotoxic activities against human oral squarnous carcinoma cells (HSC-2) and normal human gingival fibroblasts (HGF)1] ], antibiotic activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium [2] and protein kinase C inhibitor [3]. Boyd and coworkers have reported a benzophenone derivative exhibited activity in the primary anti-HIV screen [4]. Schiff bases are widely in use for synthetic purposes both by organic and inorganic chemists [5]. In addition, Schiff bases show biological activities including antibacterial [6,7], antifungal [8,9], antitumor [10,11] and herbicidal [12] activities. Schiff bases are also used as ligand for complex formation of some metal ions [13]. Metal-salen complexes are used as catalysis in epoxidation of alkenes [14], asymmetric cyclopropanation [15] and highly selective PVC membrane sensors for the sulfate ion [16]. The mentioned properties prompted us to synthesize Schiff base 3. The biological and analytical uses of Schiff base 3 are under study.

To stirred solution of o-vanillin 2 (0.85 g, 5.64 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (40.00 mL) at 0 oC were successively added 3,4-diamino benzophenone 1 (0.60 g, 2.82 mmol) and a large excces of anhydrous MgSO4 (2.00 g, 16.67 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 8 hours at room temperature. The filtered solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield the crude Schiff base [17] which was recrystalized from ethanol 95% to give the pure Schiff base 3 as an orange solid (1.13 g, 83%).
