SYNTHESIS OF SOME ANTIBACTERIAL FUNCTIONAL CATIONIC DYES

In this study, the idea is to combine the traditional dyes and functional finishing together through suitable chemical linkages, thus the whole structure may be regarded as a functional dye. Novel some new antibacterial cationic dyes weresynthesized by reacting N, N- Dimethyl (heptyl, decyl and hexadecyle) amine with anthraquinone derivatives, respectively. The structures of the synthesized dyes were fully elucidated by using FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. All synthesized cationic dyes showed antibacterial activities. This will be discussed later in another paper.
