An efficient synthesis of 3′-quinolinyl substituted imidazole-5-one derivatives catalyzed by zeolite and their antimicrobial activity

A series of some new quinoline based imidazole-5-one derivatives have been synthesized by the fusion of oxazol-5-ones, various p-substituted anilines and zeolite in pyridine. All the derivatives were subjected to an in vitro antimicrobial screening against a representative panel of bacteria and fungi and results worth further investigations.
