Synthesis and Biological Activity of N-Aryl-2-(2-hydroxybenzyloxy)acetamide Compounds
A series of novel N-aryl-2-(2-hydroxybenzyloxy)acetamides were synthesized by the reaction of N-aryl-2-bromoacetamides with salicyl alcohol in the presence of potassium carbonate.The structures of the target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR.The in vitro fungicidal and antitumor activity of compounds(2)were evaluated.The results showed that both compounds(2)c and(2)j exhibited 91.8% activity against Magnaporthe oryzae.Compound(2)c also displayed 88.6% and 86.7% activity against Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum,respectively.Compounds(2)e and(2)h showed 94.2% and 92.4% activity against HCCLM3.
