Abstract:
A facile method has been implemented for the synthesis of different N-substituted sulfamoylacetamides by reacting 4-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1) with different alkyl/aralkyl/aryl amines (2a-q) in basic aqueous media under controlled pH to afford -[(Substitutedsulfamoyl) phenyl]acetamides (3a-q) which were confirmed through spectral analysis like FT-IR, EIMS and 1H-NMR. Moreover, the synthesized derivatives were screened against α-Chymotrypsin. The enzyme inhibitory results revealed that most of the synthesized compounds were found to be moderate enzyme inhibitors.

Reversible inhibitors like edrophonium bind to a specific part of the enzyme called the anionic catalytic site. They form noncovalent bonds, which means they are not strongly attached to the enzyme. This creates a temporary and less stable enzyme–inhibitor complex,...

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
