V. Murugan et al., Synthesis and biological activities of some new 2,3-disubstituted-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo-(b) thiophenes, I J HET CHE, 8(3), 1999, pp. 229-232
Schiff's bases (II) were prepared from respective 2-amino-3-carboxyanilido-
4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo [b] thiophene (I) and different arylaldehydes which
were treated with diazotized sulfanilamide to give (III). The newly synthe
sized nine compounds were evaluated for local anesthetic and antimicrobial
activities. Many of the compounds showed significant antimicrobial and loca
l anesthetic properties.
