2-Chloro-3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (3a), 2-chloro-3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (3b), 2-chloro-3-(piperidin-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (3c), 2-chloro-3-morpholinonaphthalene-1,4-dione (3d), 2-chloro-3-(2-phenylhydrazinyl)naphthalene-1,4-dione (3e), 2-(allylamino)-3-chloronaphthalene-1,4-dione (3f), 2-(3-chloro-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-ylthio)acetic acid (3g), 2-(3-chloro-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-ylthio)succinic acid (3h), methyl 2-(3-chloro-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-ylthio)acetate (3i), 2-chloro-3-(2-mercaptoethylthio)naphthalene-1,4-dione (3j), 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-4H-naphtho[2,3-b][1,4]thiazine-5,10-dione (3k) and compounds 3l–q have been synthesized by a green methodology approach using water as solvent and evaluated for their antifungal and antibacterial activity. The antifungal profile of 3a–n indicated that compounds 3a–d, 3j, 3e and 3k have potent antifungal activity. Amongst the most promising antifungal compounds, 3a–g, 3j, 3k showed better antifungal activity than clinically prevalent antifungal drugs Fluconazole and Amphotericin-B against Trichophyton mentagraphytes and compounds 3j and 3k have been found to be lead antifungal bicyclic and tricyclic 1,4-naphthoquinones. Compound 3k also exhibited pronounced antibacterial activity.
