The structure of all synthesized compounds was elucidated by IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopic spectra, elemental analysis, and mass spectroscopy. A tautomeric form for the derivatives species is also proposed.enDehydroacetic acid; Schiff base; Condensation; Catalyst; Ultrasound irradiation; Tautomerism.Article
