The assigned structures for all the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of elemental analyses and spectral data (infrared, NMR, and mass), and the mechanisms of their formation were also discussed. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity for twelve selected products was screened, and the results obtained exploring the high potency of some of the tested compounds compared with the employed standard bactericides and fungicides. In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration of the tested compounds was determined, and the results obtained exploring the high potency of three of the tested compounds against all the tested microorganisms.
