Synthesis of 3-[3-chloro-4-hydroxy-2(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-azetidene-1-yl]-5-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one as possible antimicrobial agents was written by Srivastava, B. B. L.. And the article was included in International Journal of ChemTech Research in 2013.Computed Properties of C8H8O3 This article mentions the following:
A series of 3-[3-chloro-4-hydroxy-2(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-azetidene-1-yl]-5-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-phenyl-3,5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one was synthesized. All these compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against three microorganism Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Escherichia coli. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (cas: 57179-35-8Computed Properties of C8H8O3).
3-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (cas: 57179-35-8) belongs to ethers. Of all the functional groups, ethers are the least reactive ones. Ether bonds are quite stable towards bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. But on the other hand, ethers undergo cleavage by reaction with acids. Ethers can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds. The ability to form hydrogen bonds with other compounds makes ethers particularly good solvents for a wide variety of organic compounds and a surprisingly large number of inorganic compounds.Computed Properties of C8H8O3
