We firstly describe a catalyst-free direct ring-opening of cyclic aldimines with abundant aliphatic primary amines to construct o-hydroxy schiff bases under mild reaction conditions. The corresponding products were generated in good to excellent yields (80-99%). In addition, a gram-scale reaction and further application of the reaction strategy were performed.
