Abstract
A new series of ketoazomethines were synthesized by condensation of phenyl glyoxal (prepared by partial oxidation of acetophenone) with various p-substituted anilines viz. p-Cl, p-Br, p-NO2, p-(C2H5)2N and p-CH3. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and H1 NMR. The synthesized ketoazomethines were screened for their antifungal acsutivity against hazardous fungi namely Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria brassicola, Sclerotium and Pythium.
