Shivshankar Sundgea* and Yeshw

Abstract

Environmentally benign, economically cheap and solvent-free synthesis of series of imines by the condensation of substituted hydroxy naphthyl ketone with iodo anilines under grinding approach is described. Imines were further tested for antioxidant activity; most of them show moderate activity.
