Synthesis and Preliminary Anti‐bacterial Activity of Some 4‐Substituted‐ N 1 ‐2‐pyridylsulfanilamide Derivatives

2‐Amino‐4‐ethoxycarbonylpyridine 1 was used as a starting material in the synthesis of some 4‐substituted‐ N 1 ‐2‐pyridylsulfanilamide derivatives to evaluate their antimicrobial activity. The obtained compounds were of no particular effect against the tested organisms except for a noticeable inhibition of B. subtilis , which was of varying extents but remained clearly significant.
