Synthesis and Biological Activity of β-Aroylacrylate Salts

A series of β-p-toluylacrylate salts with various amines that retained the molecular fragment responsible for the antibacterial activity were synthesized. A new efficient method for obtaining β-aroylvinyl-1-pyridinium and -triphenylphosphonium bromides was proposed. Antibacterial testing showed that all investigated compounds possessed antibacterial properties.
