Abstract

A simple synthesis of various substituted coumarin and Schiff base was prepared by the condensation reactions of (R) phenyl malon anilic acid (1a, 2a) with different substituted salicylald ehydes in the presence of pyridine as a catalyst at maintained temperature. Substituted benzo-coumarin and benzo-Schiff base has been synthesized by the condensation reactions of (R) malon anilic acid (1a, 2a) with 2-hydroxy-1-Naphthaldehyde in the presence of pyridine. The constitution of the newly synthesized compounds are characterized by their spectral studies like IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis, physical properties. Further they were assayed for their antibacterial activity against one Gram + ve S.aureus and one Gram - ve E.coli micro-organism.

Introduction

Coumarin is a simple oxygen containing heterocyclic compound, present in Melilot and Tonca bean. It is the Odoriferous Principle Wood-ruffs which led to its wide spread used as perfuming in chemical industry. Several coumarin derivatives have been found to possess antibiotics¹, antiinflammatory², antibacterial³, anti-fungal⁴ activities. Several anti-bacterial drugs are modulate on coumarin’s structure as Novobiocin coumeromycin. Substituted coumarin derivatives have also been reported to possess antiallergic⁵, anticoagulant⁶, antidiabetic⁷ activities. On the other hand the schiff’s base has long shown pharmacological interest as antitubercular⁸, anti- cancer⁹, antitumor¹⁰, fungicidal¹¹, agro-chemical¹² activities.

Some of the substituted benzo-coumarin & schiff’s base derivatives have been possesses antibacterial¹³, fungicidal¹⁴ activity.

By various workers several substituted coumarins & schiff’s base and benzo-coumarin & benzo-schiff’s base have been synthesized in our laboratory^15-17. In the present study we have synthesized a novel series of some new substituted coumarin & schiff’s base by the condensation of 2-methoxy-5-methyl, 3 -chloro- 4-methoxy malon anilic acid with different substitut-ed salicylaldehydes in the presence of pyridine and the benzo-coumarin & benzo-schiff’s base was prepared by the condensation reactions of 2-methoxy-5-methyl, 3-chloro-4-methoxy malon ani-lic acid with 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst as pyridine.

Experimental

Material and Methods

All the chemical used in the synthesis were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Company. All the melting points of newly synthesized compounds were determined in open capillary tubes and were uncorrected. All the novel compounds were recrystallized by absolute ethanol 99%. The purity of the synthesized compounds was checked by TLC. The Infrared spectra (cm^-1) were recorded on Perkin-Elmer Spectrum RX-1 FT-IR spectroph-otometer at ST. John’s College, Agra. ¹H NMR spectra was measured on Advance Bruker DRX-300 using hexadeuterio dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO d₆ ), chemical shift are given in(ppm) and protons signals are indicated as: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet. Analytical and physical analysis of synthesized compounds were listed in the Table-1.

Synthesis of N(R)-phenyl malon anilic acid (1a, 2a),N : N^I – di(2-methoxy-5-methyl) phenyl malonamide (3a), ethyl N (2-methoxy-5-methyl) phenyl malonamate (3b), N(2-methoxy-5-meth-yl) phenyl malonamic acid amide (3c).

To the primary amine (1a,2a;0.025 mole), diethyl malonate (0.05 mole) was added in the presence of a catalyst (DMF), refluxed for  45 – 60 minutes, cooling, filtered. Take solid part of (1a) and recrystallized by absolute ethanol, on analysis it was identified as N:N^I-di(2-methoxy-5-methyl) phenyl malonamide (3a), the main filtrate of (1a) was collected in china-dish and concentrated it on boiling water-bath, the coloured mass of the compound was treated with 20 ml portion of petroleum ether (100-120^OC), then recrystallized, it was found to be ethyl N-(2-methoxy-5-methyl) phenyl malonamate (3b), ethyl N-(2-methoxy-5-methyl) phenyl malonamate (0.01mole;3b) was dissolved in 15 ml of ethanol in r.b.flask was added with liquor NH₃ (15 ml), the flask was tightly corcked, vigorously shaken, cooling, the crystalline solid was obtained, filtered, purified by absolute ethanol, it was found to be  N(2-methoxy-5-methyl) phenyl malonamic acid amide (3c). In the filtrates of main product add ethyl alcohol with the solution of Na₂CO₃, take hydrolysis of the main mixture for 45 minutes, filtered, to the filtrate Con. HCI was added slowly. Thus the solid was separated, filtered, washed with distilled water, recrystallized, was identified to be N(R) phenyl malon anilic acid (1a, 2a).

Synthesis of coumarin-3-carboxy-(R^I) anilide (1d-1f, 2d-2f)and 2-hydroxy benzal (R^I) aniline (1g-1i, 2g-2i)

A mixture of (1a, 2a ; 0.001 mole) and substituted salicylaldehydes (0.001 mole) with a trace of pyridine, then the reaction mixture was heated for 4-hours in an oil-bath at 104-110^OC, after cooling it was digested with the solution of NaHCO₃, washed with water, the schiff’s base was removed by the extraction with hot ethanol (15ml),take the ethanolic extract  and concentrate it, cooling, gave 2-hydroxy-benzal (R) aniline. The residue was recrystallized from hot ethanol as identified to be coumarin 3-carboxy-(R) anilide.

Synthesis of substituted benzo – coumarin (1b, 2b) and benzo – schiff’s base (1c, 2c)

A mixture of ( 1a,2a;0.01 mole) and 2-OH-1-Naphthaldehyde(0.01 mole) with few drops of pyridine , heated for 4-hours in an oil-bath, the mixture was first melted and then soon set to a solid, cooling, and then digested with Sodium bicarbonate saturated solution(20 ml). The alkali extract then decanted and residue was washed with water. The residue was boiled with hot ethanol and filtered, the ethanolic extract was concentrated, after cooling, gave substituted benzo-schiff’s base.

The residue left after boiling with absolute ethanol was recrystallized as yellow crystals of substituted benzo-coumarin.

Antibacterial activity

The antibacterial activity of synthesized compounds was investigated by employing the filter paper disc method^18-19 was followed by using special Hi-Media Sterile disc code SD-067, representative organisms selected for evaluation of antibacterial activity were S.aureus and E.coli. The compounds was evaluated at 25 µg ml^-1 concentration. The compounds were tested as a solution or suspension in DMF. An important and useful control drug streptomycin also tested under similar conditions, with view to compare the results.

The Infrared spectra of the compound (2b) showed absorption bands at3414.8 cm^-1(-NH str.), 1638.1 cm^-1 (CONH str.), 1560.7 cm^-1 (C=C str.),1774.0 cm^-1(lactone C=O), 2362.7(CH=N str.), 668.3 (mono substitution str.). Thus these observati-ons lent support to the assigned structure. The compound (2f,2i) showed absorption bands at 3414.2 cm^-1 (-NH str.),1638.2 cm^-1 (CONH str.), 1501.4 cm^-1 (C=C str.), 1708.0 cm^-1(lactone C=O), 2362.1(CH=N str.), 667.3 (mono substitution str.) and 2361.4 cm^-1(CH=N str.), 3414.2(-OH group str.), 668.4 (linkage).
