PEG-400: prompted eco-friendly synthesis of some novel pyrazolo [1, 5-a] pyrimidine derivatives and their in vitro antimicrobial evaluation
Abstract
Several pyrazolo [1, 5-a] pyrimidines derivative were prepared by the condensation of
substituted of α, β- unsaturated carbonyl compounds (chalcones) with substituted 5-amino
pyrazole as an alternative polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as green reaction medium. The
reaction is clean with excellent yield, shorter reaction time. The entire synthesized products were
characterized by spectral analysis. Furthermore, these newly synthesized compounds were
screened for their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (MTCC443), Bacillus subtilis
(MTCC441), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC96) and Salmonella typhi. (MTCC98). The
antifungal activity was evaluated against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus (MTCC3008),
Candida albicans (MTCC227) and Penicillium chrysogenum (MTCC160).Most of the
compounds showed significant antimicrobial activity.
