Synthesis of some novel 4-aminoacetophenone diazenyl and 1, 2, 3-triazole derivatives as potential antibacterial agents

Abstract EN

With the study of synthesizing new organic compounds and exploring biological potency.

Aryldiazenyl derivatives (2-5) were carried out by coupling of diazonium salt of 4-aminoacetophenone (1) and miscellaneous active methylene compounds such as: acetylacetone, ethyl cyanoacetate, dimedone or methyl acetoacetate.

Moreover substituted 1,2,3-triazole (7-9) were synthesized by the cyclization of 1-(4-azidophenyl) ethanone (6); (which was obtained by coupling of diazonium salt (1) with sodium azid); with acetylacetone, methyl acetoacetate or methyl cyanoacetate, respectively.

The structures of the prepared compounds were promoted by IR, H1NMR and UV/Visible spectra.

Further, they were examined in vetro for antibacterial activity against five strains of bacteria viz., Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter uses the agar diffusion method.
