Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antidengue activity of enantiomeric Schiff bases derived from S-substituted dithiocarbazate
A series of Schiff bases have been successfully synthesized through the acid-catalyzed condensation of S-substituted dithiocarbazates and three enantiomerically pure monoterpenes, (1R)-(+)-camphor, (1S)-(-)-camphor, (1R)-(-)-camphorquinone, (1S)- (+)-camphorquinone, (R)-(-)-carvone and (S)-(+)-carvone. Spectroscopic results revealed that the Schiff bases containing camphor or carvone likely adopted an E-configuration along the characteristic imine bond while those containing camphorquinone assum
