        abstract = {A new efficient and environmentally friendly procedure developed for the synthesis of Schiff base of aniline with aromatic aldehyde. The work involved the synthesis of 2 [(E)-(Phenylimino) methyl] phenol from salicyaldehyde & aniline and (E)-N-(4 Methoxybenzylidene)benzenamine from anisaldehyde & aniline in solvent-free condition under microwave irradiation. Organic red clay was employed as natural acid catalyst for the synthesis of Schiff base. Organic clay catalysts were characterized by EDX (Energy dispersion x-ray analysis), XRD (X-ray diffraction) techniques. Elemental composition of red clay was determined by EDX pattern recorded in the binding energy region of 1-10 KeV. The Schiff base thus synthesized from organic clay was characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectra techniques. This green synthetic approach found to have advantages like good yields, reduction in reaction time, exclusion of toxic organic solvents, operational simplicity.},
