A convenient, efficient and one-pot synthesis of chemically and pharmaceutically interesting symmetrical-2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles is reported. The protocol involves anodic oxidation of aldehyde-N-arylhydrazones in anhyd. MeCN-LiClO4. Constant potential electrolysis carried out in an undivided cell and platinum electrodes leads to the formation of the corresponding oxadiazoles under ambient condition and the mechanism was deduced from voltammetry studies. The reaction proceeded smoothly with high atom economy. Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013.

The electrochemical oxidation of aldehyde-N-aroylhydrazone has been studied in the presence of NaClO4 as supporting electrolyte in MeOH solution using cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis. The results indicate that intramolecular cyclization of aldehyde-N-aroylhydrazone has been successfully performed at a platinum electrode in an undivided cell with good yields of the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles at ambient conditions. The reaction products were characterized by spectroscopic methods and a mechanism was deduced from voltammetry studies. The antifungal activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated on Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria solani, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The results revealed that all the synthesized compounds have significant antifungal activity against the tested fungi. Among the synthesized derivatives 7b, 7d, 7g, 7h, 7i, 7j and 7r were found to be the most effective antifungal compounds. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

A series of substituted hydrazide derivatives have been synthesized and screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against five representative microorganisms. The results of antimicrobial study indicated that the presence of electron withdrawing groups on the benzoic acid moiety improved antimicrobial activity. Further, the presence of heterocyclic ring furan does not improve the antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazides. To understand the relationship between physicochemical parameters and antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazide derivatives, QSAR investigation was performed by the development of one-target and multi-target models. The multi-target model was found to be effective in describing the antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazides in comparison to the one-target models. Further, it indicated the importance of the topological parameter, valence third order molecular connectivity index (3χv) and the electronic parameter, energy of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) in describing the antimicrobial activity of substituted hydrazides.
