Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial and DFT Studies of Novel Quinolino‐Pyrazole Derivatives.

Synthesis of novel (E)‐N‐(4‐(substituted)benzylidene)‐6‐substituted‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐1‐carbothioamides/carboxamides was achieved by the condensation of 6‐substituted‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐1‐carbothioamides/carboxamides with substituted benzaldehydes in alcoholic medium in the presence of acetic acid. The structures of synthesized compounds are assigned on the basis of FT IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass Spectral data. The compounds are subjected for their antibacterial, antifungal and DFT studies. Compounds, (E)‐6‐chloro‐N‐(4‐(dimethylamino)benzylidene)‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐1‐carbothioamide (5 b), (E)‐6‐chloro‐N‐(4‐(dimethylamino)benzylidene)‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐1‐carboxamide (5 f), and (E)‐6‐chloro‐N‐(4‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐1‐carboxamide (5 j) possessed pronounced antibacterial and antifungal activities due to their chemical structure.
