AI Article Synopsis

  • The study presents a green synthesis method for creating aryl and benzyl phosphorochalcogenoates using zinc in ethanol, achieving this quickly and environmentally friendly.
  • Antimicrobial tests showed that these compounds are effective against multiple bacterial strains, including Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as the fungal strain Candida albicans.
  • The research includes statistical analyses and seed germination tests to support the findings on antimicrobial activity.

Article Abstract

We report in this work an environmentally benign zinc mediated synthesis of aryl and benzyl phosphorochalcogenoates in ethanol within a short reaction time. In vitro antimicrobial study along with statistical analysis and seed germination assay were performed. These chalcogenophosphates possess strong antimicrobial activity against the reference strains. The antibacterial activity was determined against four standard strains (Bacilus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The antifungal activity was evaluated against one fungal strain Candida albicans.
