A convenient synthesis of substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine was carried out by the reaction of various ketene dithioacetals with 5-amino 1,2,4-triazole in methanol in presence of sodium methoxide. The newly synthesized compound were characterized by 1H NMR, 13 C NMR, IR, MS, elemental analysis and screened for their antimicrobial activity against various strains of bacteria and fungi.

A development of Groebke‐Blackburn‐Bienaymé (GBB) reaction was shown by the application of Etidronic acid as a green catalyst. A number of 1H‐imidazo[1,2‐b]pyrazoles derivatives were prepared via multicomponent GBB reaction in one pot sequential steps by the condensation of 5‐amino‐1H‐pyrazole, aldehyde and isonitrile. Here, we have demonstrated the development of GBB protocol by the utility of Etidronic acid in milder reaction medium to modify and simplify the existing synthetic strategies that removes hazardous acids, toxic solvents and drastic conditions with sustainable product yields and purity.
