Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some 5-chloro-3-phenyl-1H-indole-2-carbonyl azide derivatives

Abstract

In the present investigations, a series of new 6-substituted-3-(5-chloro-3-phenyl-lJî-indole-2yl)-3,4-dihydro-4-substituted-4-substituted-phenacyl-2H-l,3-benzoxazin-2-one 7a-f have been synthesized by two methods making use of 5-chloro-3-phenyl-l/H-ndole-2-carbonyl azide 2 and chalcones 5a-f. In one method, compound 2 on reaction with chalcones 5a-f in presence of triethylamine in dry benzene yields respective open chain carbamates 6a-f, followed by reaction with catalytic amount of potassium hydroxide in dry benzene under reflux condition to afford compounds 7a-f. In another method, compound 5a-f on reaction with compound 2 using dry benzene in presence of catalytic amount of potassium hydroxide under reflux conditions afford cyclized products 7a-f in good yield. Structures of the all the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed by spectral data. All these compounds have been screened for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, antifungal activity against Aspergillus Niger and Candida albicans and antituberculosis activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37R V ). © 2018 Scientific Publishers.
