Abstract

An efficient synthesis of various substituted azo-coumarin & azo-Schiff base has been synthesized by the condensation of 3-chloro-4-methoxy phenyl malon anilic acid (1a) and different substituted phenyl benzene-azo-salicylaldehyde (5a-5l) with few drops of pyridine as a condensing agent. The constitution of the newly synthesized products has been established on the basis of their spectral studies viz: IR, 1H NMR, Elemental analysis and physical properties as m.p, colour, yield%, molecular formula etc. and their antibacterial activity was carried out against S.aureus and E.coli micro-organisum.

Introduction

Many of the synthetic, semi-synthetic, natural molecules containing the coumarin scaffold and included simple coumarin, azo-coumarin, pyrano-coumarin, iso-coumarin, benzo-coumarin have become an important class of heterocyclic compounds in drug research. Azo-coumarin have been reported to have multiple biological activities ¹, some azo-coumarin and their derivatives have been reported to possess anti-coagulant², antibacterial³, antifungal⁴, antiallergic⁵, antidiabe-tic⁶, analgesic⁷, activities. Azo-schiff’s bases are also important class of heterocyclic compounds and had got wide applications in pharmacology and industrial fields⁸. Some substituted azo-schiff’s bases and their derivatives have also been reported to possesses antiviral⁹, anticancer ¹⁰, antibacterial¹¹, activities. In this laboratory also a number of substituted azo-coumarins and azo-schiff’s bases and their derivatives have been prepared by various workers^12-15.

In continuation of our previous work^16-18 in the present study we report here the condensation reactions of 3-chloro-4-methoxy malon anilic acid (1a) with different substituted phenyl benzene-azo-salicylaldehydes (5a-5l) in the presence of pyridine as a condensing agent.

Experimental

Material and Methods

All the chemicals used were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Company. All the recorded melting points were determined in open capillary tubes and are uncorrected. The purity of final products were checked by TLC using Silica-gel-coated AI-Plates. IR (infrared spectrum) (Kbr-disc method cm^-1) were recorded on Perkin-Elmer Spectrum RX-1 FT-IR spectrophotometer at ST. John’s college, Agra. ¹H NMR spectra measured on Advance Bruker DRX-300 using solution in DMSO d₆. Chemical shifts are given in δ (ppm) and protons signals are indicated as: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet. Elemental analysis was performed on Elementor Vario EL III. All of the synthesized compounds gave satisfactory results. The physical and analytical properties of synthesized compounds are record-ed in Table-1.

Ethyl N-(3-chloro- 4 – methoxy) phenyl malonamate (3a; 0.01 mole) was dissolved in 15 ml of ethanol in r.b.fla-sk was added 15 ml of liquor ammonia, the flask was tightly corcked vigorously shaken, cooling, filtered, purified by ethanol, it is identified to be N (3 – chloro – 4 – methoxy) phenyl malonamic acid amide (4a). In the filtrate (1) of main product add ethanol (20 ml) with a solution of Na₂CO₃ (20 ml), and then take the hydrolysis of reaction mixture for about 45 minutes, filtered, to the above filtrate add concentrated HCI drop-wise, thus the solid was separated, filtered,washed with distilled water, recrystallized and it was identified to be N (3-chloro- 4 -methoxy) phenyl malon anilic acid (1a).

Synthesis of 2-hydroxy-5 (R) phenyl benzene-azo benzaldehyde (5a-5l)

To  substituted amine (0.025 mole) was diazotised with adding concentrated HCI (8 ml) in distilled water (6 ml) at 0^OC in an ice-bath, then add solution of Sodium Nitrite (8 ml) to it with constant stirring, the solution of salicylaldehyde (0.025 mole) in 2N NaOH (20 ml) was added with stirring in to the above diazotised salt solution. The solid is separated out immediately, it was filtered, washed with cold water, recrystallized from absolute ethanol 99%.

A mixture of N (3-chloro-4-methoxy) phenyl malon anilic acid (0.001mole ; 1a) and (0.001mole ;5a-5l) in equi molar quantity (1:1), with few drops of pyridine, the reaction mixture was heated for 4-hours in an oil-bath at 104-110^OC, the mixture was first melted and then soon set to a solid, cooling, then the product was digested with the saturated solution of Sodium bicarbonate, washed with water, the azo-schiff’s base was removed by the extraction with hot ethanol (15 ml), the filtrate was concentrated and cooling, the obtained product was identified as substituted azo-schiff’s base (7a – 7l), the residue was recrystallized from hot ethanol several times and identified to be substituted azo-coumarin (6a-6l).

Elemental Analysis for C, H, N of compound (6a) are as 53.90(53.87), 3.12(2.94), 8.25(8.19) and compound (7a) are as 54.16(54.01), 4.01(3.40), 9.77(9.45).

Antibacterial Activity

The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against S.aureus and E.coli bacterial strains by filter paper disc diffusion method^19-20 was followed by using special Hi-Media Sterile disc code SD-067. Streptomycin was used as a standard drug and compared with results, the compounds were screened at concentration of 25 µg/ml in DMF.  The zone of inhibition produced by each compounds was measured in mm and the results of antibacterial activity are given in the Table-3.

Results and Discussion

The infrared spectra of the newly synthesized compounds have been recorded in the frequency region 4000-500 cm^-1 and ¹H NMR spectral data are recorded in the Table 2.
