Alkaline Hydrolysis of 3-(2-Arylhydrazinylidene)-2,4-dioxoalkanoates

详细

Alkaline hydrolysis of 3-(2-arylhydrazinylidene)-2,4-dioxoalkanoic acids (obtained by azo coupling of the condensation products of the corresponding ketones and dialkyl oxalates in the presence of sodium) afforded 3-(2-arylhydrazinylidene)-2,4-dioxoalkanoic acids. Antimicrobial activity of some of the synthesized acids against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria was evaluated.
