Microwave assisted synthesis of novel Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines,acridine-1,8-diones and polyhydroquinolines bearing the tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoline moiety and their antimicrobial activity assess

Microwave assisted efficient Hantzsch reaction via four-component coupling reactions of tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoline-4-carbal-dehyde, dimedone/cyclohexane-1,3-dione,ethyl/methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate was described as the preparation of tetrazolo[1,5-α]quinoline based 1,4-dihydropyridines,acridine-1,8-diones and polyhydroquinolines.The process presented here is simple,rapid,environmentally welcoming and high yielding.All the derivatives were subjected to an in vitro antimicrobial screening against a representative panel of bacteria and fungi and results worth further investigations.

Molecular iodine catalyzed synthesis of tetrazolo[1,5-a]-quinoline based imidazoles as a new class of antimicrobial and antituberculosis agents

A series of some new tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline based tetrasubstituted imidazole derivatives 6a-i have been synthesized by a reaction of tetrazolo[ 1,5-a]quinoline-4-carbaldehyde 3a-d, benzil 4, aromatic amine 5a--c and ammonium acetate in the presence of iodine through one-pot multi-component reaction （MCR） approach. All the derivatives were screened for antimicrobial and antituberculosis activities and results worth further investigations.
