In this research, we have synthesized imidazole derivatives in high yields using the five component reactions of N‐methylimidazole, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates or propiolates, α‐haloketones, triphenyphophine, and ammonium acetate in water at room temperature in the presence of nanocatalyst. The Fe3O4/ZnO/multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) magnetic nanocomposites were utilized well as an organometallic catalyst in these reactions. This catalyst was synthesized utilizing the ionic liquid [OMIM]Br as a stabilizer and soft template. Also, this catalyst is high performance and improvement in the yield of the imidazoles and displayed significant reusability. In the synthesized compounds because of having imidazole core, we study the ability of antioxidant of some of them by diphenyl‐picrylhydrazine (DPPH) radical trapping and power of ferric reduction experiment. In addition, for investigation of antimicrobial activity of some imidazoles, the disk diffusion experiments are utilized on Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. The outcomes of this experiment exhibited that these generated compounds could avoid from growth of bacteria. Short time of reaction, high yields of product, and easy separation of catalyst and products are some advantages of this process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
