A novel series of 2-(4-chlorobenzylamino)-4-(cyclohexylmethylamino)-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide derivatives are synthesized and their structures are confirmed by 1 H and 13 C NMR, and MS spectral data. The compounds are screened for their antitubercular activity, and those with aryl moiety 7o, 7q , and 7r demonstrate potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Docking studies suggest a mode of interaction of the products with the binding site of enoyl-CoA hydratase demonstrating that the target compounds were potential anti-TB agents.
