Bio-Potent (5-Chloro-2-Thienyl)-3-(Substituted Phenyl) Bicyclo[2.2.1]Heptane-2-yl Methanone Derivatives

Abstract

A series of (5-chloro-2-thienyl)(3-(substituted phenyl) bicyclo [2.2.1] hept-5-en-2-yl) methanones have been synthesized by fly-ash catalyzed [4+2] cycloaddition Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and 5-chloro-2-thienyl chalcones under cooling conditions. The yields of the methanones are more than 60%. The synthesized (5-chloro-2-thienyl)(3-(substituted phenyl) bicyclo [2.2.1] hept-5-en-2-yl) methanones are characterized by their physical constants and spectral data. The antimicrobial, antioxidant and insect antifeedant activities of synthesized methanones have been studied using their respective bacterial, fungal strains, DPPH radical scavenging activity and Dethler’s leaf-discs bioassay method.
