Abstract:
Aim: This is a comparative study of some new coumarin substituted thioaryl pyrazolyl
pyrazoline.
Methods: The target compounds were synthesized using both conventional as well as microwave
irradiation by reaction of coumarin chalcones with different substituted hydrazine hydrates and
aryl hydrazines to give the resultant pyrazoline derivatives. Microwave reaction, enhanced organic
reactions, and reduced reaction time led to better yields and selectivity than conventional
methods.
Results: The obtained compounds were characterized by different spectroscopic analysis including
IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental-analysis and evaluated for their
antimicrobial screening against a representative panel of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus
aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi) and fungi (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans).
Conclusion: In the present study, we have synthesized coumarin pyrazoline derivatives clubbed
with benzofuran pyrazole via both conventional and microwave irradiation and also subjected to
antibacterial and antifungal studies. Synthesis of target compounds by the microwave irradiation
enhanced reaction rate and reduced reaction time led to better yields and selectivity than conventional
methods. The study of antibacterial and antifungal activities revealed that all the compounds
exhibited reasonable to excellent activities against the pathogenic strains.
