Ultrasound-promoted one-pot five-components synthesis of biologically active novel bis((6-alkyl or phenyl-2-phenylpyrimidine-4-yl) oxy) alkane or methyl benzene derivatives

Abstract

We have described a synthesis of novel five-component reaction (5-CR) of bis((6-alkyl or phenyl-2-phenylpyrimidine-4-yl) oxy) alkane or methyl benzene derivatives under ultrasound irradiation. A useful ultrasound effect was observed and title products were obtained with high yields after 25–40min sonication. Structural confirmation and characterization of the products based on the analytical, chemical, and spectral analysis. The results show obviously, that to reach a high efficiency of ultrasonic systems in synthetic chemical processes. Our procedure compared to the conventional heating method has the benefit of higher reaction yields and shorter reaction times. The in vitro antibacterial tests show that some of the target compounds have promising activities. Structure–activity relationships (SAR) were established for the substitutions on the pyrimidine rings and related length of linear chain linker.
