Abstract: | A number of new Schiff's bases of gossypol with aromatic amines and sulfanilamide compounds has been obtained. It has been shown by UV and PMR spectroscopy and x-ray structural analysis that in some solvents they exist predominantly in the quinoid form. For dianilinegossypol (in the solid state) the quinoid structure has been demonstrated and two polymorphic modifications have been revealed by x-ray structural analysis.A. S.
