Abstract

Three novel aza-acyclic nucleosides and two hydrogen complexes were isolated by flash chromatography after being produced in a reaction between indole and dibenzosulfonyl diethylamine (which had previously been prepared) in the presence of sodium and absolute ethanol as a basic catalyst. Structures of new compounds and complexes were determined by 1D-NMR: 1H NMR, 13C NMR, DEPT-135, 2D-NMR: COSY, HMQC, HSQC, HMBC, IR, and MS spectroscopy. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against a wide range of microorganisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungal strains. These compounds showed good biological activity.
