The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectral (FT-IR and 1H-NMR) methods and their purity was proven by elemental analysis and thin layer chromatography. These compounds were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity by using micro-well dilution method against Escherichia coli ATCC 10536, Escherichia coli ATCC 15442, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442, Acinetobacter baumannii , Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 13883.
