Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of 5-Substituted-2-(1-H-Benzimidazole) Sulfonamides

Heterocyclic compounds such as 5-substituted-2-(1-H-benzimidazole) sulfonamides were synthesized by condensation of 5-substituted-2-(1-H-benzimidazole)-sulfonyl chloride and 2-aminoheterocycles with triethyl amine in dry acetone. The synthesized compounds were checked for their antimicrobial potency by screening them against two bacterial strains as well as one fungal strain. The structures of compounds have been established on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data.
