Synthesis, antimicrobial activity and application of some novel quinazolinone based monoazo reactive dyes on various fibres

Abstract

The main target of this paper was to synthesize novel reactive dyes that not only give good dyeing property but also show pharmacological activity i.e. antimicrobial activity (antibacterial and antifungal). In this regard ten novel monoazo quinazolinone based reactive dyes (7a-j) were made by coupling of diazotised 3-{4-[4-amino-2-nitrobenzyl]-3-nitrophenyl}-7-chloro-2- phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (4) with various p-chloro anilino cyanurated coupling components (6a-j). The structures of all these synthesized dyes were confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral methods. The antimicrobial activity, colorimetric data, solvent effect and fastness properties of these dyes were also investigated. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
