Synthesis and spectral studies of some N-[(E)-phenylmethylidene]benzenesulfonamides

A series of some N-[(E)-phenylmethylidene]benzenesulfonamide derivatives have been synthesised using solid SiO2-H3PO4 catalyst under solvent free conditions in microwave irradiation. The synthesised E-N-benzene sulfonilimines purities have been verified by their physical constants and spectroscopic data. The spectral frequencies are correlated with Hammett substituent constants, F and R parameters using linear regression analysis. From the results of statistical analysis the effect of substituents on the group frequencies will be discussed.
