SYNTHESIS AND SPECTRAL STUDIES IN THE CHEMISTRY OF 2- AMINOBENZENETHIOLS OF BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Heterocyclic Chemistry is the thrust area for a researcher. Various publications of research papers on biologically active 2-aminobenzenethiols in recent years have arosed our interest for the synthesis and biologically activity (antioxidant and antimicrobial) of these heterocycles. This article reports synthesis of some new prospective bioactive 2aminobenzenethiols, which have shown antimicrobial activity to a good level against some selected strains of fungi, Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria leading us to a possibly potent class of antimicrobial agents.
