The treatment of Ethyl 5-((diphenylamino) methyl)furan-2-yl carboxylate with 4-amino salicylic acid afford a 4-(5-((diphenylamino)methyl)furan-2-carboxamido)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (DPFSA). The transition metal complexes of Cu2+,Co2+ ,Ni2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ of DPFSA have been prepared. DPFSA and all the metal complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, spectral studies, magnetic moment determination, molar conductivity measurement and antimicrobicidal activity.
