SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL SULPHONAMIDES AND EVALUATION OF THEIR ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICACY

4-(4′-sulphanilyl)-1-phenyl pipearzine (2) has been prepared by ther reaction of N-acetyl sulphanilyl chloride (ASC) with 1-phenyl piperazine followed by the hydrolysis of the product by ethanolic HCl. The hydrolyze product on facile condensation reaction with aromatic aldehydes yields Schiff bases/anils/azomethines (3a–h). These anils on cyclo condensation reaction with chloro acetyl chloride and thio glycolic acid (mercapto acetic acid) yields 2-azetidinones and 4-thiazolidinones respectively. Biological screening of the prepared compounds have been screened on some strains of bacteria.
