Synthesis of novel Schiff bases using 2-Amino-5-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile and 13-Disubstituted pyrazole-4-carboxaldehydes derivatives and their antimicrobial activity

摘要

2-Amino-5-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile have been synthesized from 1-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone, malononitrile, a mild base and sulfur powder using Gewald synthesis technique and the intermediate was treated with 1,3-disubstituted pyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde to obtain the novel Schiff bases. 1,3-disubstituted pyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde derivatives have been synthesized by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction in the course of a multi-step reaction. The structure of novel compounds were established on the basis of their elemental analyses IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral data and then screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Among them 5a, 5c, 5f and 5h showed excellent activity when compared to other derivatives. Remaining derivatives showed moderate activity.
