Synthesis of novel tripodal-benzimidazole from 2,4,6-tris(p-formylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine: Structural, electrochemical and antimicrobial studies
Four new tripodal-benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized by Schiff base reaction between 2,4,6-tris(p-formylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (TRIPOD) and different diamine derivatives. The structures of the obtained compounds were identified by FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and UV-vis spectral data, thermal analysis and elemental analysis. Electrochemical behaviors of the compounds were studied by cyclic voltammetry in DMF including 0.1 M [NBu4] [PF6]. The voltammograms showed peaks having similar characteristics except tripodal-benzimidazole including -NO2 derivative. In addition, their antimicrobial activities were evaluated by using the standard disk diffusion method in dimethylformamide media. The activities were determined against 4 bacteria cultures by comparing to those of gentamycin. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
