Synthesis of the new metal complexes, by allowing the condensation of Ligand, HL, (E)-N'-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzylidene)-4-methyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carbohydrazide (3) with some transition metals. Here an attempt is also made to compare reported conventional methods with microwave irradiation for synthesized compounds. Spectroscopic technique, IR, ¹H-NMR, C¹³NMR, elemental analysis and TGA-DTA were used to characterize synthesized ligands and their complexes. The metal complexes were also evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial screening.

In this study, a green and practical approach towards Hantzsch dihydropyridine synthesis of acridine-1,8-diones is introduced. Via the mentioned protocol, the one-pot condensation reaction of structurally diverse aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and NH4OAc was promoted by microwave radiation at solvent and catalyst-free conditions. Consequently, acridinedione products were produced in 81‒97% yields within 3‒8 min. The current protocol represents the prominent advantages in terms of the using a simple synthetic procedure, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, high yield of the products as well as omission of hazardous and cost-effective organic solvents/reagents.

Indolylimidazole compounds that contain both indole and imidazole rings have shown various biological and pharmacological activities. These indolylimidazole compounds have been synthesized and extracted from the plants. In this paper, we have reviewed biological activities of natural and synthesized indolylimidazoles and their various synthetic methods. In recent time, the substituted indolylimidazole derivatives have synthesized and reported in the presence of different kind of the catalysts such as strong protic acid HNO₃@nano SiO₂, Zn²⁺@KSF and acetic acid and Amberlyst A-15. This review paper is divided into two categories bases on bioactivities of natural and synthesized indolylimidazole derivatives.

A simple and economic synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones using pyridinium triflate as catalyst under microwave condition was attempted with an easy work-up protocol. Further tetrazolo [1,5-a] pyrimidine-6-carboxylates were synthesized by three-component coupling reaction of B-ketoesters with a mixture of aromatic aldehyde and 5-aminotetrazole. The products were well characterized with IR, NMR (1H and 13C NMR) and mass spectrometry.
