New N-Substituted (E)-4-Arylidene Isoquinoline-1,3-dione Derivatives: NMR Spectroscopic Investigation and Antibacterial Activity

Abstract

New N-substituted 4-arylidene-isoquinoline-1,3-dione derivatives were obtained as one geometrical isomer by aldol condensation of the appropriate aldehyde and the corresponding N-substituted homophthalimides. The structural elucidation of compounds 3a–h was established by infrared and NMR spectroscopy including ¹ Dimmock , J. R. ; Wong , M. L. C.
