The aim of this study is to synthesize biologically active Schiff bases and evaluate their antimicrobial activity of synthesized compound. Schiff bases are synthesized by the condensation reaction of primary amines with aldehydes or ketones. In this research, the synthesis process involves a room-temperature condensation reaction between o-vanillin and ampicillin, a β-lactam containing antibiotic commonly  used to treat bacterial infections.
