Abstract.
An efficient green approach to the synthesis of Schiff bases (11–21)
of 1-amino-2-aryl-3-oxo-1,2,4-
triazoles (1–3)
have been reported under Mg(ClO4)2 as catalyst followed by the reaction with
chloroacetyl
chloride in
solvent-free conditions to yield the azetidinones (22–32) 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.

Abstract. An
efficient green approach to the synthesis of Schiff bases has been reported
using Mg(ClO4)2
as catalyst followed by the reaction with chloroacetyl chloride
in solvent-free conditions to yield azetidinone
derivatives.
