Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity Study of C-3 α, β-Unsaturated Ketone Linked Benzofuran Derivatives

Wenlu Liu, Xizhen Jiang, Wei Zhang, Faqin Jiang1 and Lei Fu

Based on a benzofuran skeleton bearing aryl substituent at its C-3 position through an α, β-unsaturated ketone linker, twenty-one new compounds were chemically synthesized and biologically evaluated for their antibacterial activities against four bacteria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. Nine of the synthesized benzofuran derivatives exhibited antibacterial activities. Among them, compound 7e showed excellent MIC80 values from 0.78 to 1.56 μg/mL and was comparable to the positive control drugs.
