KEYWORDSSeveral 2-azetidinones 2a-e and 4-thiazolidinones 3a-e have been synthesized from halosubstituted Schiff bases using conventional as well as microwave technique. The newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic technique. Further, all compounds screened for antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. Most of the titled compounds show potent activity.
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.
