Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of New Nucleoside Analogues from Benzotriazole

Abstract

Novel derivatives of 1-(´1, ´3, ´4, ´6-tetra benzoyl-β-D-fructofuranosyl)-1H- benzotriazole and 1-(´1, ´3, ´4, ´6-tetra benzoyl-β-D-fructofuranosyl)-1H-benzotriazole carrying Schiff bases moiety were synthesised and fully characterised. The protection of D-fructose using benzoyl chloride was synthesized, followed by nucleophilic addition/elimination between benzotriazole and chloroacetyl chloride to give 1-(1- chloroacetyl)-1H-benzotriazole. The next step was condensation reaction of protected fructose and 1-(1-chloroacetyl)-1H-benzotriazole producing a new nucleoside analogue. The novel nucleoside analogues underwent a second condensation reaction with different aromatic and aliphatic amines to provide new Schiff bases. The prepared analogues were characterised by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS(EI+) spectra. These analogues were tested against different bacteria to evaluate them as antimicrobial agents.
