Synthesis of tropyrated azomethines exhibiting biological activity

Abstract

The article presents the results of the synthesis of tropylated azomethines without the use of toxic solvents. The proposed synthesis methods make it possible to speed up the process of obtaining substances, as well as bypass the process of their purification. Biological activity has been proven in laboratory model experiments on wheat and pea seeds. A decrease in infection of wheat seeds by 1.2-1.6 times with the fungus Mucor sp. was established. Tropylated azomethine exhibits a growth-stimulating effect on peas. Soaking pea seeds for 1 hour in an azomethine solution with a concentration of 1×10-2% improves plant development in the initial period of growth and development. There was an increase in plant height relative to the control by 3.4%, aboveground mass by 41.4%, soluble protein content in aboveground mass by 16.8%, in roots by 22.7%, peroxidase activity in sprouts by 117.6%, in the roots by 551.1%.
