A facile synthesis of 2-aryl-4,5-di(2-thienyl)imidazoles under microwave irradiation and their antimicrobial activities
Özet
In this study, some 2-aryl-4,5-dithienylimidazoles were synthesized by reacting di-(2-thienyl)ethandione and a suitable aromatic aldehyde in the presence of ammonium acetate in acetic acid. Either the classical reflux method or microwave irradiation method were applied as alternative reaction conditions. The antimicrobial activities of the compounds obtained were investigated in vitro and appreciable activities were obtained.
