Synthesis of bifunctional thieno[3,2-c]pyrazole,pyrazolothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin derivatives and their antimicrobial activities

A simple and convenient route was performed for the synthesis of some new heterocyclic compounds based on thieno3,2-c]pyrazole derivative for antimicrobial evaluation. The key intermediate, 5-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-thieno3,2-c]pyrazole-6-carbohydrazide 3, was prepared by Gewald’s synthesis of Ethyl 5-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-thieno3,2-c]pyrazole-6-carboxylate 2. This intermediate reacted with various reagents to afford different fused and polyfunctional substituted. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and mass spectral data. All the new synthesized compounds were screened for various microorganisms such as Aspergillus fumigatus; Geotrichum candidum; Syncephalastrum racemosum (Fungus); Candida albicans (Yeast fungus); Staphylococcus aureus; Bacillus subtilis (as Gram-positive bacteria); Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli (as Gram-negative bacteria) by the disc diffusion method. In general, the novel synthesized compounds possessed moderate to high antimicrobial activity against the previously mentioned microorganisms.
