Design, synthesis, molecular docking and biological evaluation of some pyridinone bearing scaffold benzofuran as antimicrobial and antioxidant activity

A series of benzofuran derivatives compounds have been designed and synthesized. Here, Benzofuran linked with pyridinone compounds is reported. The desired compounds were prepared by using 2-nitrosalisaldehydnitrile (1). After, this is treated with chloroacetone, which results in the formation of 1-(3-amino-5-nitro-1-benzofuran-2-yl) ethanone (2). Later the 3a-b is produced by a reaction of acetylation and benzylation on compound 2 respectively. The alkylation of compounds 4a-b react with sodium hydroxide, we get new pyridinone compounds. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and GCM. Further, these have been screened for their antimicrobial, and antioxidant activity. Along with this activity reference we design drug discovery of Molecular docking study by using different computational software.
