Schiff Chem.|ʃɪf| The name of Hugo Schiff (1834–1915), German chemist, used attrib. and in the possessive to designate things he devised or investigated, as Schiff('s) base, any organic compound having the structure R1R2C{b2}NR3; Schiff('s) reaction, the action of aldehydes of restoring the magenta colour to Schiff's reagent; Schiff('s) reagent, an acid solution of fuchsin (magenta, rosaniline) decolorized by sulphur dioxide or potassium metabisulphite; Schiff('s) test, the Schiff reaction employed as a test for aldehydes.
1892Jrnl. Chem. Soc. LXII. ii. 1189 Schiff's bases, derived from aromatic aldehydes, have a similar constitution to benzylidenaniline, PhN:CHPh, which serves as the type of these compounds. 1915P. E. Spielmann tr. V. von Richter's Org. Chem. 383 Hydrocyanic acid attaches itself similarly to the oximes..and to the Schiff bases. 1951I. L. Finar Org. Chem.
