IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS spectroscopic data are presented. Keywords: 4-[(Pyridin-3-ylmethylene)amino]phenyldodecanoate; Schiff base, alkyl chain. N-benzylideneaniline Schiff bases have received a considerable amount of attention from many researchers owing to their importance in exhibiting thermochromism and photochromism [1]. In view of the importance of these compounds, chemists are prompted to generate the derivatives by introducing different substituents into the existing skeleton of the molecule. The presence of a long alkyl chain at the para position of the aldehyd
