A proficient, microwave mediated methodology using CuFe2O4 nanoparticle as the catalyst for S-arylation of substituted benzene boronic acids with thiophenol has been developed. In this method, the substituted thioethers were easily obtained through a C-S bond formation using microwave irradiation technique as well as conventional heating in the presence of CuFe2O4 nanoparticles with modest to excellent yields with the less reaction time. The ligand free microwave technique helped in the preparation of substituted thioethers in measurable amount within 10 mins. The same results were obtained with conventional heating in 12h. The reported method is economically efficient and an alternative to the initial existing method for the preparation of substituted thioethers.

Background: A novel copper-catalyzed synthesis of substituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives has been developed and performed by Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azides with alkynes. The reaction is one-pot multicomponent. Objective: We state the advancement and execution of a methodology allowing for the synthesis of some new substituted 1,2,3-triazole analogues with antimicrobial activity. Methods: A series of triazole derivatives was synthesized by Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azides with alkynes. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated and confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, MS and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against a series of strains of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for antibacterial activity and against the strains of Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus nigar for antifungal activity, respectively. Results and Conclusion: From the antimicrobial data, it was observed that all the newly synthesized compounds showed good to moderate level of antibacterial and antifungal activity.
