The Synthesis of bioactive aryl anilides using solid acidic FeCl3-Bentonite catalyst: DFT analysis, molecular docking and ADMET property evaluation

Abstract

More than 85% yields of two anilide derivatives have been synthesized using FeCl₃-bentonite acidic catalyst-supported rearrangement of their oximes. These anilides were investigated by their physico-chemical constants and spectroscopical data. The effect of various acidic catalysts and solvents on the rearrangement was studied. The DFT analysis, molecular docking, ADMET properties, and antimicrobial activities of these anilides were assessed with corresponding ligand protein interaction nature and microbes.
