Serious of some novel bis benzimidazole derivatives were designed and synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reaction of 5-(un)substituted-2-chloromethyl-1H-benzimidazole and 5-(un)substituted-2-mercapto-1H-benzimidazole in the presence of sodium in methanol. Spectral methods of analysis (FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR) were used to confirm the structures of the synthesized compounds. Antibacterial activity were evaluated for most of the target compounds against four strains of bacteria including (
E.coli, P. aeruginosa
) as gram-negative bacteria and (
B. subtilis, S. aureus
) as gram-positive bacteria, the tested compounds showed various activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
