Synthesis of new series of N-substituted phenyl succinimide and glutarimide derivatives for the study of their antifungal activity

Abstract
A new series of N-substituted phenyl cyclic imides were synthesized via the reaction between succinic, glutaric anhydride, and primary aromatic amines in presence of benzene and acetyl chloride. The synthesized derivatives were characterized by IR, ¹HNMR, and ¹³CNMR spectroscopy, and antifungal activity behavior was studied using the disc diffusion method.
