A series of 2-methylbenzimidazole incorporated to different heterocycles th
rough ethyl or carbamoylethyl groups at position 1 of benzimidazole were sy
nthesized. Also 3-(2-methylbenzimidazol-1 -yl)propanoic acid hydrazide inco
rporated with semicarbazides and thiosemicarbazides were prepared. Moreover
, the triazole 5e underwent Michael addition and alkylation reaction. Some
of the newly synthesized compounds showed considerable antimicrobial activi
ty against gram positive, negative bacteria and yeast.
