Synthesis of most azo dyes involves diazotization of a primary aromatic amine, followed by coupling with one or more nucleophiles. Thus, benzoic, phenolic, salicylic and naphtholic compounds acts as nucleophiles and undergoes coupling reactions. In this study, a series of azo compounds were synthesized via the diazotization of different aromatic amines followed by coupling with 2, 4, dinitrophenol. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1HNMR and MASS spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds have been tested in vitro against human pathogens in order to assess their antibacterial properties using disk diffusion method. The compounds analysed for its antibacterial action showed moderate to significant inhibitory effect at some specific concentrations against the tested pathogens.
