Studies on Nitrofuran Derivatives. V. : Synthesis of [2-(5-Nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]-azoles and -azines

Abstract

To test their antibacterial activity, [2(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl)-azoles and-azines were prepared by the condensation of 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde with azoles and azines, which have active methyl or methylene group. Almost all the compounds possess antibacterial properties and some of them also have strong antifungal and antiprotozoal activities.
