Abstract
Novel series of Arylfuryl propenones (5a-l) were synthesized from substituted arylfurfural (3) and aromatic ketones (4) (Schemes 1 and 2). The newly synthesized compounds were confirmed and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR,
1H-NMR and Dart-Mass spectral data. They were also screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities by Disc Diffusion Method The investigation of the antibacterial and antifungal screening studies revealed that the novel arylfuryl propenones (5a-l) possess substantial antimicrobial activity.
