Facile expeditious one-pot synthesis and antifungal evaluation of disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole with two amide linkages

A library of twenty five amide linked 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles have been prepared through a facile expeditious synthetic protocol involving Cu(I) mediated cyclization of N-(2-methylbut-3-yn-2-yl)aromatic amides and in situ generated 2-azido-N-substituted propanamides. Structures of newly synthesized compounds (5a-5y) were confirmed by analytical techniques, such as FTIR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and HRMS. In vitro antifungal activity was also examined against two fungal strains Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger by serial dilution method. The compounds 5m and 5w exhibited appreciable potent activity. [GRAPHICS] .
