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