Abstract
The aim of the research was to investigate the anti-bacterial potential of some N-substituted sulfonamides bearing benzodioxane moiety. The synthesis was started by reaction of N-2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxin-6-amine with 4-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonyl chloride in the presence of 10% aqueous Na2CO3 solution to yield N-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]-dioxin-6-yl)-4-acetamidobenzenesulfonamide, which was further reacted with alkyl/aralkyl halides in DMF and lithium hydride as a base to afford N-substituted-N-(2,3dihydro-[1,4]-benzodioxin-6-yl)-4-acetamidobenzenesulfonamides. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, EI-MS, and HR-MS). The compounds were tested for antibacterial activity and most of them exhibited potent therapeutic potential against various Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains.
