Abstract:
Twenty-one hydrazides were synthesized by treating different esters with hydrazine hydrate. Substituted hydrazides were obtained by treating hydrazides with alkyl/aryl/acyl halides. Some of these compounds exhibit potential in vitro leishmanicidal activity. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic analysis.
