Synthesis, DFT and Anti-microbial study of 2-amino-2-phenoxypropane-1,3-diol

The compound 2-amino-2-phenoxypropane-1,3-diol was synthesised from bronopol reduced compound 2-amino-2-bromo propane-1,3-diol with sodium phenoxide in ethanol. The compound was characterised by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and structure was confirmed by proposed mechanism. The compound was also studied for the antimicrobial activity of the three samples against three pathogenic bacterial strains. The computational DFT analysis was also carried out for the synthesised compound.
