A new series of 4-[(E)-{[(4-substituted]sulfonyl]substitutedimino}methyl](substituted)phenyl acetate were synthesized by coupling of 3-methoxy-4-acetyloxy benzaldehyde with different sulphanalamide derivatives. Electrochemical behaviour of 4-[(E)-{[(4-substituted]sulfonyl]substitutedimino}methyl](substituted)phenyl acetate have been studied in Britton-Robinson buffers of pH 2.5–12.0 at dropping mercury and glassy carbon electrode. All the synthesized compounds gave 2-electron wave corresponding to the reduction of -N=N- bonds at mercury electrode. On the basis of differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry, IR, mass and ¹H NMR spectral studies and product identification, a reduction mechanism has been suggested. Antibacterial studies of the compounds were found promising.
