Reaction of chloro substituted phenylazo benzenecarbaldehyde(3,4) with primary aromatic amines in ethanol afforded two series of halogenated imines viz; 2-hydroxy-5-(2'chlorophenylazo) benzylidene anilines (5a-d) and 2-hydroxy-5-(4'chlorophenylazo)benzylidene anilines (5e-h) in good yield. The chemical structures were confirmed by IR, 1 H NMR and elemental analysis. The in vitro antibacterial efficacy of synthesized imines (5a-h) was tested against selected screens of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Compound (5g) bearing 4'-chlorophenylazo moiety and 4'-chlorobenzylidineamino functionalities showed broad spectrum in vitro antibacterial activity among the series.
