Synthesis of N-substituted derivatives of N-(4-(N-(5-Chloro-2 methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)acetamide with potential antiurease activity

In this study, a new series of N-alkyl/arakyl derivatives of N-(4-(N-(5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)acetamide (5a-k) was synthesized and screened for enzyme inhibition activity. Target compounds, N-alkyl/arakyl sulfamoylacetamides (5a-k) were synthesized by stirring N-(4-(N-(5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)sulfamoyl)phenyl)acetamide (3) with different electrophiles (4a-k) in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH) and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The structures of all the synthesized compounds have been deduced from their spectral (¹H-NMR, IR, EI-MS) data. All the new compounds displayed antiurease activity to varying degree.
