Antibacterials and antimycotics: Part 1: Synthesis and activity of 2-pyrazoline derivatives
Abstract:
A series of 3-styryl-1,5-diphenyl and 5-styryl-1,3-diphenyl 2-pyrazolines of different substitutions has been synthesized by condensation of substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones with phenylhydrazine hydrochloride in presence of catalytic amount of concentrated HCl. Compounds in the 3-styryl series had OMe, NMe2, NO2, OH and isopropyl substituents and those in the 5-styryl series had OMe, NMe2 and NOs. The 3-styryl-1,5-diphenyl compounds showed little variation in antibacterial activity towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in terms of geometric mean minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). The 4',4"-NMe2, 4',4"-NO2 and 4',4"-OMe compounds were found to possess the highest activity in the series. The 5-styryl-1,3-diphenyl series showed lower activities than the 3-styryl series. The in vitro antimycotic activity of the 4',4"-OH and 2',2"-OH substituted compounds showed good activity than the other molecules in the two series.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
