Catalytic activity of nickel ferrite nanoparticles in synthesis of 4-aryl benzelidene-2- ((5-fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)methyl)oxazol-5(4H)-one and its evalute the biological activity

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Seven 4-arylbenzelidene-2-((5-fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)methyl)oxazol-5(4H)-one derivatives were synthesized by the condensation of 2-(2-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl) acetoamide) acetic acid, substituted aromatic aldehydes with acetic anhydride and sodium acetate in the presence of MgO/Al₂O₃ under reflux using nickel ferrite nanoparticles. Seven of the compounds are new derivatives. 2-(2-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)acetoamide) acetic acid was obtained from 2-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)acetyl chloride with lysine in the presence of NaOH and HCl in the ice cold solution. 2-(5-fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)acetyl chloride can be prepared from 5-fluoro indole with chloroacetyl chloride in triethylamine and dichloromethane. The structures of the compounds were evaluated based on ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and LC-MS and by elemental analysis. These compounds were screened by anti-oxidant as well as anti-microbial activity.
