Synthesis of novel Schiff Bases containing acryloyl moiety and the investigation of spectroscopic and electrochemical properties

•Novel Schiff bases containing acryloyl moiety were synthesised.•Structural characterizations were performed via IR, Uv–vis, and NMR spectroscopy.•The inhibition efficiencies of these compounds were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and Tafel extrapolation methods.•These compounds may have a pioneer role in synthesizing novel organic materials.

A novel Schiff bases and their acryloyl derivatives were synthesized through the reaction of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in order of with aniline, p-chloroaniline, p-nitroaniline, p-methylaniline and p-aminobenzoic acid. The structures of these compounds were characterised spectroscopic techniques such of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectroscopy. π→π* and n→π* transitions were determined via UV–vis spectroscopy studies performed in EtOH, CHCl3, and DMF. Furthermore, the inhibition efficiencies of these new compounds were investigated on the surface of steel within the solution of 0.1 M NaCl, 0.1 M NaOH and 0.10 M H2SO4 solution via cyclic voltammetry and Tafel extrapolation methods.
