A new series of compounds, namely 2-{[4'-(3''-aryl)-2''-propene-1''-one-phenyl]amino}benzoic acids (3a-3j) and 2-{[4'-(5''-aryl)isoxazol-3''-yl]phenyl amino} benzoic acids (4a-4j), were synthesized. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, Mass spectral analysis. The compounds (3a-3j) and (4a-4j) have been evaluated their antimicrobial activity.
