Abstract The title compounds (5a–j),(6a–j), and (7a–j) were prepared via a four-step procedure using starting material 4-methoxyaniline (1). The structure of all synthesized compounds was confirmed by FT-IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and CHN analysis. The synthesized compounds were tested for their antibacterial and antifungal activity (MIC) in vitro against organisms viz. B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and C. albicans ...
