Antimicrobial activity of novel isothiuronium salts with 7-chloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan-5-olate anion

Abstract

New thermally stable long-chained 2-alkylisothiuronium 7-chloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan-5-olates were obtained from the corresponding bromides and 5,7-dichloro-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan, the hydrolysis of the C(5)–Cl bond to produce phenolic function having occurred in the course of the process. The compound structure was determined by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray single crystal study. Salts with C14–C18 alkyl groups revealed moderate antibacterial and antifungal activities.
