1. The Grignard Reaction with Schiff Bases Robert Bruce Moffett & Willard M. Hoehn J. Am. Chem. Soc., Vol. 69, p. 1792-1794 (1947)
Summary: The reaction of benzyl-magnesium chloride on the Schiff bases from substituted benzaldehydes and primary amines has been found to be a suitable method for the preparation of 1,2-diphenyl-ethylamines. 19 new secondary amines have been prepared by this reaction.
2. The Reaction of Grignard Reagents with Schiff Bases K. N. Campbell, C. H. Helbing, M. P. Florkowski & B. K. Campbell J. Am. Chem. Soc., Vol. 70, p3868-70 (1948)
Summary: Several new amines have been prepared by the action of Grignard reagents on Schiff bases of the type: Ph-CH=N-R. The effect of structure of the aldimine and of the Grignard reagent on the yield of amine has been determined.
