title: Three components coupling catalysed by NaHSO(4).Sio(2) - a convenient synthesis, antibacterial and antifungal activities of novel 6-Aryl-1,2,4,5-tetrazinan-3-ones.
abstract: A novel method has been developed for the synthesis of 6-aryl-1,2,4,5-tetrazinan-3-ones through a one-pot reaction of urea, various substituted aromatic benzaldehyde having electron donating and electron withdrawing groups and ammonium acetate in the presence of reusable NaHSO(4).SiO(2) heterogeneous catalyst in dry media under microwave irradiation. FT-IR, (1)H NMR, D(2)O Exchange, (13)C NMR, Heteronuclear Single Quantum Correlation (HSQC) spectra, MS and elemental analysis characterized all the synthesized compounds. In vitro antibacterial/fungal activities were evaluated for six new compounds. The antibacterial studies revealed that compounds 1-6 had better activity against tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Compounds 1 and 5 were more active against beta-Heamolytic streptococcus, a Gram-positive bacteria and Pseudomonas, a Gram-negative bacteria, respectively, than the standard drug ciprofloxacin. Besides, of all the compounds tested, compound 5 was more effective against Aspergillus flavus, a fungal strain than the standard drug fluconazole.
