7. Typical procedure for the hydrolysis of the Schiff bases under UV light: To a solution of 1c (3 g) in acetone (60 mL) was added distilled water (5 mL). With nitrogen gas slightly bubbling through, the reaction solution was irradiated by a 300 W high-pressure mercury lamp for 40 min at r.t. Cupric sulfate aqueous solution was used as the photofilter to obtain 365 nm monochromatic light. After the removal of the solvent, the crude product was washed with ethyl ether to remove benzaldehyde, then the residue was dried at vacuum. 2c was obtained as white solid in yield of 99%.
