Design, structural and spectroscopic elucidation and in vitro antimicrobial, anticancer, antileishmanial, urease inhibition activities and interaction with SS-DNA of newly synthesized amide based carboxylic acid

N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)]-4-oxo-4-[oxy]butanamide was synthesized and characterized by various techniques like elemental analyses, FT-IR, NMR (1H, and 13C), mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray structural analysis. The appearance of the OH peak of the carboxylic acid in the FT-IR and NMR spectra conform the formation of the compound. The molecular structure of the compound is stabilized by short intramolecular O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds within the...
