Synthesis of New Ferrocene bis Thiocarbazones under Solvent-Free Conditions using Microwave

Abstract

A simple efficient method for the synthesis of new ferrocene bis thiocarbazones via microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions has been developed. Compared to the conventional method, its major advantages are short reaction times, good conversions and actually accorded the green synthesis technology. The structures of target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, ESI-MS spectra data and elemental analysis. Preliminary bioassay results showed that some of these compounds possess inhibitory effects against S. aureus, S. pyogenes and E. coli bacteria.
