Email: [email protected] Received: 25 November 2016, Revised and Accepted: 20 December 2016 ABSTRACT Objectives: Benzofurans are very interesting heterocycles, which are available in nature and show a wide range of pharmacological activities, viz., antifungal, antibacterial, antitumor, antimalarial and antioxidant activity. Methods: A convenient method for the preparation of aryl (5-substituted benzofuran-2-yl) carbamate derivatives 6a-6j has been developed. The target compounds 1-(5-nitrobenzofuran-2-yl)-3-arylurea (6a-6e) and 1-(5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl)-3arylurea (6f-6j) have been prepared by reacting 5-nitrobenzofuran-2-carbonyl azide 5a or 5-bromobenzofuran-2-carbonyl azide 5b with substituted phenols in reasonable overall yields. All the synthesized compounds were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H NMR and mass spectrometry and were subjected to antimicrobial screening against two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis), two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and two fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) using two-fold dilution method. Results and Discussion: All the values of FTIR, 1H NMR and mass spectra were found to be prominent. The results indicate that synthesized compound 6i showed potent antimicrobial activity comparable to standard. Conclusion: The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, and antimicrobial activities of synthesized compounds were reported. Keywords: Benzofuran, Antibacterial activity, Antifungal activity. © 2017 The Authors. Published by Innovare Academic Sciences Pvt Ltd.

All the Benzofuran is one of the most important classes of fused ring synthesized compounds were characterized using Fourier transform heterocyclic compounds. The benzofuran derivatives are naturally infrared (FTIR), 1H NMR and mass spectrometry and were subjected occurring and possess many biological applications [1-3]. Angelicin, to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) antimicrobial screening psoralen, and bergapten are the examples of naturally occurring against two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus benzofuran derivatives with biological applications [4-6]. The isolation subtilis), two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas of benzofuran derivatives from natural sources is laborious and time- aeruginosa), and two fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) consuming. Hence, the synthetic chemists are interested in synthesizing using two-fold dilution method. the benzofuran derivatives. Numerous synthesized benzofuran derivatives were found to be biologically active [7-9]. Nowadays, MATERIALS AND METHODS many synthetic benzofurans are used as good inhibitor [10,11], antimicrobial [12-14], anti-inflammatory [15,16], antiviral [17], Materials antioxidant [18-21], antitumor [22], antiproliferative [23,24], and All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, SD Fine, antialzheimer [25].

Another part of the problem is due to increasing use, and misuse, of existing antibiotics in Methods human and veterinary medicine and in agriculture. As the resistance General method for synthesis of 5-substituted benzofuran-2-carbonyl to antimicrobial agents increasing day by day, it is very necessary to azide (5a-5b): 5-substituted benzofuran-2-carbohydrazide 4a-4b synthesize new compounds which will show less bacterial resistance (0.02 mole) was dissolved in a mixture of 30 ml of acetic acid and and good inhibitory activity [26]. 30 ml of 1,4-dioxane and cooled to 0°C using ice salt bath.
