Synthesis and Antibacterial Studies of Some Semicarbazones of Some Carbonyl Compounds

A number of semicarbazone derivatives were synthesized by the condensation reaction of appropriate ketones with semicarbazide and all the compounds were characterized by analytical and spectral studies. The compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria by using agar well diffusion method. Most of the compounds were found to have better antibacterial action than the reference standard drugs.
