title: Studies in potential organo-fluorine antibacterial agents. Part 2: Synthesis and antibacterial activity of some new fluorine-containing 3.5-disubstituted isoxazoles.
abstract: A series of new fluorine-containing 3,5-disubstituted aryl/alkylisoxazoles has been synthesized by the condensation of hydroxylamine with appropriate beta-diketones in the presence of pyridine and characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectral studies. These isoxazoles have been screened for their antibacterial activity against the gram positive bacteria, Staphylococcus albus, Streptococcus nonhemolyticus and the gram negative bacterium Escherichia coli.
