Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of a new series of furan-3-carboxamides, from the aromatization of 4-trichloroacetyl-2,3-dihydrofuran to 3-trichloroacetyl furan followed by nucleophilic displacement of the trichloromethyl group or the corresponding carboxylic acid chloride by nitrogen-containing compounds, is presented. Preliminary in vitro antimicrobial activity of the title compounds was assessed against a panel of microorganisms including yeast, filamentous fungi, bacteria, and alga. Some of the furan-3-carboxamides exhibited significant in vitro antimicrobial activity. QSAR investigation was applied to find a correlation between the different physicochemical parameters of the compounds studied and their biological activity.
