Abstract
A series of (Z)-N-(1-(2-(2-amino-3-((dimethylamino) methyl) phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4,oxadiazol-3(2H)- yl)ethanone derivatives was prepared and studied for its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Among the synthesized derivatives, compounds (7c) (Z)-N-(1-(2-(2-amino-3-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3(2H)- yl)ethylidene)-4-chloroaniline, (7g) (Z)-N-(1-(2-(2-amino-3-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol- 3(2H)-yl)ethylidene)-4-nitroaniline and (7i) (Z)-N-(1-(2-(2-amino-3-((dimethylamino)methyl)phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4- oxadiazol-3(2H)-yl)ethylidene)-4-methoxyaniline were found to be the most effective antimicrobial compounds. While the compounds 7c and 7g were the most potent antioxidant compounds with significant hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity.
