Synthesis And Antimicrobial Activities of 1, 2-Di (6-Methylquinolyl-2) 1, 2-Ethanedion

The 1,2-di(6-methylquinolyl-2)-1,2-ethanedion is obtained when 1,2-di(6-methylquinolyl-2)-1,2-ethenediol was oxidized using air as an oxidizing agent whereas the starting material itself was synthesized when 6-methyl quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde was subjected to condensation reaction in the presence of potassium cyanide
