SYNTHESIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF FIVE MEMBERED CYCLIC IMIDE DERIVATIVES OF MONO, DI AND TRI SUBSTITUTED AROMATIC AMINES AND NAPTHYL AMINE

The five-membered cyclic imide derivatives were prepared by reacting succinic anhydride with substituted aromatic amines and naphthyl amine to get 3-(N-phenyl carbamoyl) propanoic acid and 3-(N-napthylcarbamoyl) propanoic acid. These intermediates underwent ring closer with acetyl chloride furnished five-membered cyclic imides derivatives. All these derivatives were screened for antimicrobial activities.
