International Journal of Applied Biology and Pharmaceutical Technology. 2012 Jan-Mar; 3(1): 219-223.0976-4550http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/163686A family of Schiff bases was synthesized by the reactions of o-aminobenzoic acid and Knovenegal condensate of β-ketoesters in 1:1 ratio. The newly synthesized Schiff bases were characterized by Elemental analyses and spectral (FT-IR, UV–Vis and 1H-NMR) studies and the structures have been proposed tentatively. These compounds were subjected to study their biocidal efficacy against S. epidermidis, E. coli, B. cinerea and A. niger.enSchiff baseβ-ketoestersKnovenegal condensateBiocidalArticle
