Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of pyrimidinyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles

Abstract

A new class of methylthio linked pyrimidinyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazoles were prepared under conventional and ultrasound irradiation methods. All the compounds were obtained in higher yields and in shorter reaction times in ultrasound irradiation method when compared with the conventional method. The title compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity. The compounds 12c and 12f exhibited promising antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa whereas the compounds 13c and 13f showed pronounced antifungal activity against A. niger.
