Synthesis and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Some New Spiroindolinone Derivatives

In an attempt to find a new class of antimicrobial agents, a series of spiroindolinone compounds containing pyridine, pyrimidine, benzopyrans, pyrido, naphtodiazepines, pyrazole, and isoxazole ring systems were prepared via the reaction of 3‐(2‐oxo‐2‐(3‐oxo‐3H‐benzof]chromen‐2‐yl)ethylidene)indolin‐2‐one ( 4 ) with an appropriate nucleophilic reagent. Newly synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, and mass spectra). Representative compounds were tested and evaluated as antimicrobial agents.
