Abstract

Given the significant low yield (19–43 %) in reported results on the cyclocondensation of sulfaguanidine acetate with chalcones, a careful reinvestigation was carried out. A new series of chalcones, bearing electron-attracting groups in the aromatic moiety, have been used as precursors in the synthesis of diphenylsulfapyrimidine acetates with good yield. All synthesized compounds were active against G+- and G-bacteria, and fungi. Combination of substituents (Cl, OMe, NO2,etc.) enhanced antimicrobial activity. Derivative with two NO2 groups exhibits an activity comparable with sulfadiazine.
