Abstract :

T The Schiff’s bases containing azo group were synthesized at a cathode surface in an aqueous methanol solution containing sodium hydroxide. The synthesis was carried out at DC source voltage of 3.5– 9.5V using zinc cathode, platinum anode and calomel electrode. The products were characterized by spectroscopic techniques. In vitro, antimicrobial potential of Schiff’s base was assessed by well–in agar method. The Schiff’s base exhibited potent antibacterial and antifungal activities against most of the tested pathogenic bacteria and fungi in 10% concentration itself.
