Abstract

Title compounds of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles derivatives by the ring closure reaction of m-fluorobenzoic acid hydrazide with an aromatic acid and alumina in presence of POCl3 under microwave irradiation. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria namely staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative bacteria namely, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All the synthesized compounds were also tested for their antifungal activity against fungi namely, Candida albicans.

Keywords
