The structures of the synthesized compounds were determined by infrared spectroscopy, NMR (<sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C), and electrospray ionization–high-resolution mass spectrometry. We also show the in vitro antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The qualitative analysis has revealed that the new synthesized compounds <b>5, 6, 9,</b> and <b>11</b> present antibacterial properties.</p>
