Synthesis of Novel Series of Various Substituted1-(5-(2-p-tolyloxyquinolin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3(2H)-yl)ethanone and its Antibacterial Activity

A new series of 1-(5-(2-tolyloxyquinoline-3-yl)-2-(pyridine-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxidiazol-3(2H)-yl)ethanones were synthesized from cyclisation of N’-((2-(p-tolyloxy)quinoline-3-yl)methylene) isonitonohydrazide in acetic unhydride at reflux condition for 3-4 hr. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses as well as IR, ^1H NMR and mass spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities against various bacterial strains. Several of these compounds showed potential antibacterial activity.
