Schiff bases are used as substrates in the preparation of a large of bioactive and industrial compounds via ring closure, cycloaddition, replacement reactions, etc [1] . In additon, Schiff bases are well known to have biological activites such as antibacterial [2,3,4,5], antifungal [4,5,6], antitumor [7,8,9], and herbicidal activities [10]. Also Schiff bases are used as ligands for complexation of some metal ion 11]. Azo compounds are widely used as dyes and pigments [12]. Another area of application of aromatic azo compounds is analytical chemistry where some of these compounds are used as indicators in pH, redox or complexometric titrations [13,14]. On the other hand azo compounds show biological activities containing antibacterial [15,16], pesticidal [10] activities. According to above facts, we decided to synthesize a new azo Schiff base 3 as potential biological and complexometric agent . Its biological activities and its uses in analytical works are under study.

Azo aldehyde 2 was synthesized according to a reported method [17]. To a stirred solution of azo aldehyde 2 (1.08 g, 3.76 mmol ) in dry CH2Cl2 (30.00 mL) at 0 oC were successively added (3,4-diaminophenyl)phenyl methanone 1(0.40 g, 1.88 mmol) and a excces of anhydrous MgSO4 (2.00 g,16.67 mmol) . The resulting mixture was stirred for 6 hours at room temperature [18]. The mixture was filtered and washed with dichloromethane . Then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give azo Schiff base 3 as a red solid which was recrystalized from ethanol 95% (1.28 g, 91 %)
