Synthesis, and in vitro evaluation of benzene sulfonamide derivatives for antimicrobial and disinfectant properties: Part-I
Abstract
The synthesis of benzene sulfonamide derivatives has been reported here for the antimicrobial and disinfectant properties. The synthesis was performed by known literature procedure. P-Toulene sulfonyl chloride was reacted with ethylene diamine to yield to the desired compounds. The synthesis of these agents is reported in part -I of the paper. In subsequent parts the antimicrobial activity and disinfectant properties shall be reported.
Introduction
Benzene sulfonamide is a versatile moiety with several properties. Some of them include antimycobacterial. [1] antitubercular,[2] antibacterial[3] and antiviral,[4] etc properties. The synthesis of Benzene sulfonamide moieties is reported here from p-toulene sulfonyl chloride and ethylene diamine and to variate the reaction, with propylamine to yield compounds 1 and 2 respectively. The structure of these compounds have been reported in the [Figure 1].

Materials and Methods
TLC was performed on 524nm Merk TLC plates. All chemicals were of synthetic grade and 98% purisis grade. TLC was eluted with 3 different solvents to check the purity of the compounds and visualized in Iodine chamber and further in UV chamber. The 1H-NMR was performed on Bruker 400 MHZ NMR before which FT-IR was performed on Perkin Elmer spectrophotometer. The synthetic scheme for the claimed compounds has been shown in [Figure 2]. The compounds were synthesized by sulfonamide formation reaction.[5]
Synthetic scheme

4- methyl-N-(ethanamine)-benzenesulfonamide (AV1): Equimolar quantities of p-toluene sulfonyl chloride and 1-propanamide were stirred at room temperature for 3 hrs vigorously in round bottom flask and magnetic bead on hot plate mantle with magnetic stirrer.
