Abstract Two novel di-Schiff bases were synthesized through the condensation of the prepared dialdehyde intermediate, 2,2′-[butane-1,4-diylbis(oxy)]dibenzaldehyde, with amine moieties, namely semithiocarbazide and 4-aminoantipyrine, in a 2:1 molar ratio using DMF as the reaction medium under controlled conditions. The progress of the reactions and the purity of the synthesized compounds were monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The obtained Schiff bases were characterized by solubility tests, melting point determination, FT-IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The compounds were found to be partially soluble in most organic solvents while remaining insoluble in water. The antimicrobial potential of the synthesized Schiff bases was evaluated by the disc diffusion method on agar medium against selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, and Escherichia coli, along with the fungal strain Candida albicans, at three different concentrations. The results revealed that the Schiff bases exhibited variable inhibitory activity against the tested microorganisms, indicating their promising antimicrobial properties.
