Sulfonamides of 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl acetoxyacetic acid and their antibacterial studies.

Abstract: Reaction of 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylacetoxyacetyl chloride 2 with various N'-(substituted aryl)-p-aminobenzenesulfonamide derivatives afforded title compounds. All the final compounds were characterized by the IR spectral data and elemental analysis and screened for antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negativebacterial strains.
