Synthesis and antibacterial activity of carvacryl ethers

Abstract

Structural modifications of phenolic monoterpenoid obtained by reacting carvacrol with various substituted α-chloro acetanilides, to improve biological activities which give the product with better yield and higher purity under mild reaction conditions with the help of microwave irradiation techniques.

Keywords:

• carvacrol
• monoterpenoids
• microwave irradiation
• antibacterial activity
• structure–activity relationships
