A Facile Synthesis of Substituted 2-(5-(Benzylthio)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyrazine Using Microwave Irradiation and Conventional Method with Antioxidant and Anticancer Activities

摘要

A series of novel substituted 2-(5-(benzylthio)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)pyrazine derivatives (6a-n) were synthesized under microwave irradiation and conventional conditions with less reaction time with good to excellent yields. All the synthesized compounds were screened for antioxidant and anticancer activities. Out of the 14 prepared derivatives, compounds 6f and 6m were most potent and active with antioxidant and anticancer activities, respectively. Also, the developed technique was simple, easy, and less time consuming.
