Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of a Series of 2-(5-Phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-N-[(1-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl]anilines Using Click Chemistry

Abstract

series of new triazolyl derived 1,3,4-oxadiazoles 7a–7l is synthesized with high yields by coppercatalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition reaction between a variety of substituted aryl/alkyl azides and 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)aniline. Structures of intermediates and the final compounds are confirmed by FTIR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and Mass spectra. The synthesized compounds demonstrate moderate antibacterial activity and potent antifungal activity against the tested strains.
