Abstract
Several natural piper amides and their mimics were synthesized by developing a new strategy of amide formation. The piper amides were tested against both gram +ve and gram −ve bacterial strains and found that they are particularly more active against Staphylococcus aureus and Chromobacterium violaceum strains.
Notes
1All the amides synthesized were well characterized by IR, 1H NMR and MS methods.
