Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-400) as an alternative reaction solvent for the synthesis of some new 1-(4-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2-thiazolyl)-3-aryl-5-(2-butyl-4-chloro-1H-imidazol-5yl)-2-pyrazolines and their in vitro antimicrobial evaluation

Several 1-(4-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2-thiazolyl)-3-aryl-5-(2-butyl-4-chloro-1H-imidazol-5yl)-2-pyrazoline derivatives were prepared by the base catalyzed treatment of appropriate chalcones with 4-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2-hydrazino-thiazole in poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG-400) as an alternative reaction solvent. All the synthesized compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli (MTCC 2939), Salmonella typhi (MTCC 98), Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC 441), Aspergillus niger (MTCC 281), Trichoderma viridae (MTCC 167), Penicillium chrysogenum (MTCC 160), Fusarium moniliforme (MTCC 156) and Candida albicans (MTCC 183). Most of the compounds showed potent antibacterial and antifungal activity.
