A convenient synthesis of a new series of N-aryl-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H/3H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonitriles and alkyl N-aryl-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H/3H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid esters is reported. The newly synthesized 5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2,3-triazole derivatives are evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. Some of these triazole derivatives have exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity.
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.
