Abstract. An efficient green approach to the synthesis of Schiff bases (1121) of 1-amino-2-aryl-3-oxo-1,2,4-

triazoles (13) have been reported under Mg(ClO4)2 as catalyst followed by the reaction with chloroacetyl

chloride in solvent-free conditions to yield the azetidinones (2232) with excellent yields. The synthesized

compounds were evaluated for the extent of penetration into biological membranes (clogP), drug-likeliness and

finally drug score was calculated and also screened for antitubercular and antimicrobial activities.
