Microwave Synthesis of Iodo Coumarin Derivatives and Antimicrobial Activities of the Products

A series of iodo coumarin derivatives have been synthesized under microwave irradiation and the structures of newly synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of IR and CO-IR data. The synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity in a disc diffusion technique and streak plate isolation method against four strains of bacteria and three fungal strains. The tested compounds have shown different activity in terms of growth inhibition of microorganism.
