The first palladium -catalyzed coupling reactions of 1,3,5-triphenyl pyrazoline are reported. The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of 3-(4-bromophenyl)-1,5-diphenyl pyrazoline with one equivalent of arylboronic acids afforded 3-(biphenyl)-1,5-diphenyl pyrazoline in 53-78 % yield. While the Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of 3,5-bis(4bromophenyl)-1-phenyl pyrazoline with two equivalent of arylboronic acids gave 3,5-bis(biphenyl)-1-phenyl pyrazoline in 55-80% yield. The characterization of the synthesized derivatives (5a-h) and (6a-h) were accomplished on the basis of NMR, FT-IR, and mass techniques. The newly pyrazoline derivatives have been investigated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The dicoupling compounds (6a-h) exhibited promising antibacterial against all four bacterial strains compared to the mono-coupling compounds (5a-h) which displayed a slight activity. The compound 6d showed a potent activity significantly more active than Trimethoprim (100μg/ml).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
