A series of N, N¢-diaryl-2-aryl-6-hydroxy-6-methyl-4-oxocyclohexane-1,3-dicarboxamides have been synthesized by the reaction of N-arylamides of acetoacetic acid with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of piperidine. The structures of the products were determined by IR, PMR, and mass spectroscopy. Data on the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds are presented.
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.
