Synthesis of New Piperazine Substituted Chalcone Sulphonamides as Antibacterial Agents.

Background: Infection is a global threat to human health, and there is an urgent need to develop new effective antibacterial drugs to treat bacterial infections.

Objective: To study the antibacterial activity of piperazine substituted chalcone sulphonamides.

Materials And Methods: A series of novel piperazine substituted chalcone sulphonamides have been prepared, and in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli strains were evaluated.

A Brief Synthesis of 2,2'-Arylmethylene Bis(3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1- one) Catalyzed by TEAOH in Various Solvents.

Aims And Objectives: 2,2'-Arylmethylene bis(3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1-one) having four carbonyl functionalities along with their tautomeric keto-enol forms, is an important biologically active compound and important synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of xanthenes. This study was conducted in order to develop a new and concise method of synthesis of 2,2'-arylmethylene bis (3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2- cyclohexene-1-one) derivatives.

Materials And Methods: TEAOH (20 mol %) was fond to be as a simple and efficient catalyst for the preparation of 2,2'-arylmethylene bis(3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1-one) derivatives by the Knoevenagel condensation/Michael addition tandem reactions.
