Two series of 2-substituted and three new diacetyl benzofurans were synthesized through palladium-catalyzed reactions and their in vitro antimicrobial spectra were assessed. The compounds demonstrated mild to significant growth inhibition against antibiotic-susceptible standard and clinically isolated strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as human fungal pathogens. Ampicillin and kanamycin were used as references for antibacterial screening; nystatin and amphotericin B were used for antifungal screening. Varying substitution at the benzofuran moiety and subsequent antimicrobial screening identified the C-3-acetyl functionality as a new structural alternative for optimal antimicrobial property in the benzofuran class of compounds.
