In present study, an efficient and greener protocol is developed for the synthesis of 5-(4-(substituted
[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl-methoxy)benzyl)-thiazolidine-2,4-diones by using microwave irradiations. Here,
a one-pot reaction between 5-(4-((4-bromobenzyl)oxy)benzyl)thiazolidine-2,4-dione, substituted aryl
boronic acid and K2CO3 in the presence of toluene:water:ethanol solvents under conventional heating
methods and microwave irradiation methods is reported. All the final compounds were characterized by
FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis. The antimicrobial evaluation studies
show moderate activities against used microbes.
