THIONYL CHLORIDE CATALYZED SYNTHESIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF SOME 2-BENZYLIDENE-1-TOSYLHYDRAZINES

More than 85% yields of ten substituted 2-benzylidene-1-tosylhydrazines have been prepared by thionyl chloride assisted condensation of 1-tosylhydrazine and substituted benzaldehydes in room temperature.  They are characterized by their physical constants, analytical, and spectroscopic data.  The antimicrobial activities of these hydrazines were evaluated by Bauer-Kirby disc diffusion method.
