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

Abstract

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