Solvent Free Microwave Accelerated Synthesis of Heterocyclic Thiazolidin-4-ones as Antimicrobial and Antifungal Agents

摘要

A simple and efficient method has been developed for conversion of arenecarbaldehyde-3-methylquinoxalin-2-yl-hydrazones to 3-(2-methylquinoxalin-3-yl)-2-(substitutedphenyl)thiazolidin-4-ones in good yields using microwave irradiation technique on silica as solid support under solvent free conditions. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental microanalysis, infrared spectroscopy, H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. All the synthesized thiazolidinones were investigated for their antimicrobial and antifungal activities. The results of the biological activities revealed that the compounds 3b, 3d, 3f and 3h exhibited excellent antibacterial activities while 3d and 3h exhibited good antifungal activity.
