Abstract
In this study, various substituted chalcones, prepared by condensing substituted acetophenones with substituted aldehydes/arylfurfurals, were treated with thiosemicarbazide in basic media to produce 1-thiocarbonyl-3,5-disubstituted pyrazolines which on further reaction with substituted phenacyl bromides afforded the title compounds in good yield. Structures of the newly synthesized compounds were assigned on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectral studies. The newly synthesized compounds were tested for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities against a variety of microorganisms and antioxidant activities by diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay. Among the derivatives, compounds 3b, 3e, 6a, and 6h were identified as potent antioxidants. Compounds 3d, 3e, and 6a–f have emerged as the most promising antimicrobial agents displaying the maximum activity against all the tested microorganisms.
