Question

why schiff can not be prepared in basic conditions
​

Answer 1

Schiff bases are typically formed by the condensation of a primary amine and an aldehyde which involves the use of organic solvents such as methanol, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) [4]. Microwave-assisted preparation of a series of Schiff base without solvent [5] has also been reported.
