Abstract: The study was aimed to synthesized and characterization of two new amino acid Schiff base and the synthesized ligands was reacted with oxovanadium(IV) ion, and to evaluate the catalytic activity of the obtained complexes against the cyclooctene epoxidation, namely, 5-Chlorosalycialdehyde-alanine and 5-Nitrosalycialdehyde-alanine, Derived from condensation reaction of substituted salicylaldehyde with some amino acids; α-alanine, with a new alternative method, The development includes the use of 10-2 mole sodium hydroxide as a new catalyst, which is considered a new method of Schiff bases synthesis. For characterization purpose, Elemental analysis (EA),........
