Synthesis and Characterization of some new Ibuprofen Derivatives and Study Antibacterial Activity

The series of ibuprofen compounds (1–5) have been synthesized. Acid chloride (4-isobutylphenyl) acetyl chloride (1) was obtained from interaction ibuprofen with thionyl chloride, this compound (1) was treated with hydrazine to give acid hydrazide 2-(4-isobutylphenyl) acetohydrazide (2). Schiff’s base of 2-(4-isobutylphenyl) acetohydrazide derivatives (3a–e) were prepared by refluxing (2) with different aromatic aldehydes and ketones. The (4-isobutylphenyl) acetyl chloride (1) converts to esters (4a–f) by reacting with alcohols, and with secondary amines to give amide compounds of (4-isobutylphenyl) acetyl chloride (5a–b). All structures of synthesized compounds have been confirmed by elemental analysis (C, H, and N) and spectral data (FT-IR and 1H NMR). The prepared compounds (3a–e) and (4a–f) have been screened for their antibacterial activity for S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeuroginosa, and were shown to have antibacterial activity.
