Abstract

The conventional method used for β-blocker synthesis was initiated by refluxing biphenyl-2-ol (1) with an epoxy ring (2) in the presence of K2CO3 to obtain 2-[(biphenyl-2-yloxy)methyl]oxirane (3). Compound 3 was then reacted with 99% isopropylamine (4) and various substituted phenols (6a-i) to obtain 1-(biphenyl-2-yloxy)-3-(propan-2-ylamino)-propan-2-ol (5) and 1-(2,6-dimethyl-/4-methoxy-/4-chloro-3-hydroxy-/2,6-dimethoxy-/3,4-dimethyl-/4-amine-/4-bromo/3,4-dinitro-/2,4-dihydroxyphenoxy)-3-(biphenyl-2-yloxy)propan-2-ols (7a-i), respectively. The purity of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by melting point and thin layer chromatography. The synthesized compounds were analyzed by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy to determine their structure. These compounds were also evaluated for their antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani and Aspergillus niger using the food poison technique. From the activity data, it was found that compound 1-(biphenyl-2-yloxy)-3-(propan-2-ylamino)propan-2-ol (5) was most active against both fungi R. solani and A. niger. Antibacterial activity was also determined against Bacillus species by zone of inhibition method. Compounds 5 and 7a-i were also evaluated for its herbicide activity.
