Abstract: Cardanol, a naturally occurring C15 unsaturated aliphatic chain substituted phenol derived from cashewnut shell liquid (CNSL) was used for the preparation of Bis (3-pentadecylphenol) methane.  Bis (3-pentadecylphenol) methane, when treated with epichlorohydrin followed by the action of sodium periodate, a dialdehyde was obtained.  On reflexing the dialdehyde with ethylene diamine, schiff’s base ligand was obtained. Schiff's base ligand on reflexing with transition metal salts Schiff's base complexes were formed.  From the complexes formed the metal ion intake for complexation was studied.
 

Keywords :  Cardanol, formaldehyde, epichlorohydrin, ethylenediamine, schiff’s base
