SYNTHESIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL STUDIES OF NEWLY SYNTHESIZED 1-SUBSTITUTED-3-SUBSTITUTED PROPANE-1, 3-DIONES

Abstract

In this current work, one new series of 1-Substituted-3-substitutedpropane-1, 3-diones or β-diketones 4(a-e) have been synthesized from 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde i.e. Vanillin. The structures of titled synthesized compounds of the series have been confirmed by usual chemical characteristics, elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectral studies. They have also been studied for their antimicrobial effects against the growth response of pathogenic microorganisms viz. E. coli, S. aureus, A. flavus through agar diffusion method.
