Abstract:
New N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)-2 or 3 or 4-(phenoxyacetamido)benzamides 6a-t were synthesized and tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923) and gram negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) bacteria as well as fungi (Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Candida tropicalis ATCC 13803 and Cryptococcus neoformans ATCC 90112). Compounds 6 were devoid of antibacterial as well as antifungal activities at maximum tested concentrations of 50 micrograms/ml for bacteria and 100 micrograms/ml for yeast.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...

Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
Separation of the aromatic...
