Synthesis and Characterization of some Novel Stilbene Derivatives Derived from Substituted (Phenyl Acetic Acid, Benzaldehyde, Amines ) Triethyl Amine and Thionyl Chloride

Stilbene derivatives are widely distributed in the nature and they possess various bioactivities that includes antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, hepato protective, anti-HIV, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet. We have synthesized novel derivatives of stilbenes by reacting various substituted phenyl acetic acid with aldehydes in presence of acetic anhydride and triethyl amine. These derivatives were characterised by various spectral techniques and were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities.
