Abstract
3-Aryl-1-(2-naphthyl)-prop-2-en-1-ones were reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate to produce 4-aryl-6-(2-naphthyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles, which were treated with ethyl chloroacetate to give the corresponding ester. Treatment of the latter ester with hydrazine hydrate or anthranilic acid afforded hydrazides and benzoxazines. The hydrazides were reacted with benzaldehyde or phenylisothiocyanate to afford the corresponding hydrazone and thiosemicarbazide derivatives, which were cyclized with chloroacetic acid or thioglycolic acid to the corresponding thiazole derivatives. 3-Aryl-1-(2-naphthyl)-prop-2-en-1-ones were either condensed with malononitrile under different conditions to produce carbonitrile derivatives or treated with active methylene reagents to afford the substituted cyclohexene derivatives. The structure assignment of the new compounds is based on chemical and spectroscopic evidence. Some of these compounds exhibited antimicrobial activities comparable to Ampicillin® as reference drug.
Synthesized compounds from 3-Aryl-1-(2-naphthyl)-prop-2-en-1-ones show antimicrobial activities comparable to Ampicillin®, offering potential for new antimicrobial agents.
