Benzimidazole analogs bearing electron-withdrawing as well as electron-donating substituent were synthesized to achieve bioactive molecules with significant antimicrobial property. The desired compounds were prepared by multi-step synthesis process. The formation of intermediates and their corresponding derivatives (III (1-13) ) was confirmed by spectral characterization such as H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, mass spectra, IR, and elemental analysis. The compounds were screened for their antimicrobial properties against a broad panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi. From the SAR study data, it was observed that the derivatives with electron-withdrawing functional groups were more bioactive than that with electron-donating functional groups.
