1 Introduction
The increasing environmental consciousness throughout the world has put a pressing need to develop an alternate synthesis approach for biologically and synthetically important compounds. The present day industrialization has led to immense environment deterioration. One of the advances in the field of green chemistry (Xie et al., 1999; Desai and Desai, 2006a,b; Desai et al., 2006a,b) where substantial progress has been made is microwave-assisted synthesis (Verma, 1999; Desai and Desai, 2006b,c, 2007).
The chemistry and pharmacology of quinazolinone have been of great interest to medicinal chemistry because quinazolinone derivatives possessed various biological activities, such as antibacterial (Ghorab and Abdel-Hamide, 1995; Reddy et al., 1999), CVS (Kumar et al., 1998) and anticonvulsant (Wolf et al., 1990). Several pyrazolines are of great importance as antimicrobial agents (Kumar and Sinha, 1990; Srivastava and Srivastava, 1999).
Compounds bearing the quinazolinone moiety are endowed with various types of biological activities (Amine, 1998; Holla et al., 1998; Kumar et al., 1985) especially anti-inflammatory activity (Sarvanan et al., 1998; Khilil et al., 1994; Bhalla et al., 1993). It is also reported that substitution of halo group at 6-position in this nucleus enhances its anti-inflammatory action. A large number of pyrazolines are reported to possess potent antifungal and antibacterial activity (Kym et al., 1990; Udupi et al., 1998a,b). This prompted us to synthesize a newer series of quinazolinone derivatives by incorporating the pyrazoline moiety at 2nd position of the quinazolinone nucleus. We report herein the synthesis of 2-(ω-chloroacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-ones (2), 2-(ω-hydrazino acetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-ones (3) and 1′-[3H-3-p-fluorophenyl-4-oxo-6-bromoquinazoline-2-acetonyl]-3′-[1-o-chlorophenyl-3-methyl-5-azomethine-2-pyrazolidene]-5′-(substituted phenyl)-Δ2-pyrazolines (4a–j). This starting compound 2-methyl-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-ones (1) was prepared according to the reported method (Mishra et al., 1997).
2 Results and discussion
Conventional methodology sometimes has lower yields than microwave protocols. Microwave irradiation facilitates the polarization of the molecule under irradiation causing rapid reaction to occur. All the compounds synthesised were adequately characterized by their elemental analysis and spectral features.
2.1 Chemistry
2-(ω-Chloroacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-one (2) was prepared by the reaction of 2-methyl-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-one (1) with ClCH2COCl in dry tetrahydrofuran by only conventional method. 2-(ω-Hydrazinoacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-one (3) was prepared by the reaction of 2-(ω-chloroacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-one (2) with NH2NH2.H2O in absolute ethanol by both conventional and microwave method. 1′-[3H-3-p-Fluorophenyl-4-oxo-6-bromoquinazoline-2-acetonyl]-3′-[1-o-chlorophenyl-3-methyl-5-azomethine-2-pyrazolidene]-5′-(phenyl)-Δ2-pyrazolines (4a–j) were prepared by the reaction of 2-(ω-hydrazinoacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-one (3) with 1-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-methylpyrazolideneazomethine-5-chalcones (Desai and Desai, 2007; Khalafalla and Hassan, 1986) in glacial acetic acid by conventional method and in DMF by microwave method respectively. 1-(o-Chlorophenyl)-3-methylpyrazolideneazomethine-5-chalcones was prepared by following the method reported in the literature (Desai and Desai, 2007; Khalafalla and Hassan, 1986).
Compound (1) on reaction with chloroacetylchloride yielded 2-(ω-chloroacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-one (2). Among the significant features of 1H NMR data of (1), the disappearance of singlet at δ 2.50 (CH3) and appearance of two singlets at δ 2.30 and δ 2.50 due to the chloroacetyl group confirmed the structure. Furthermore, compound (2) on treatment with hydrazine hydrate gave their corresponding 2-ω-hydrazinoacetonyl-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-haloquinazoline-4(3H)-one (3). The appearance of bands at 3380 and 3440 cm−1 for NH and NH2, respectively in the IR spectra, and two broad signals at δ 4.55 and δ 5.56 in 1H NMR spectra clearly showed the presence of hydrazino group in compound (3). Further, compound (3) on refluxing with different 1-(o-chlorophenyl)-3-methylpyrazolideneazomethine-5-chalcones in the presence of glacial acetic acid yielded the corresponding 1′-[3H-3-p-fluorophenyl-4-oxo-6-bromoquinazoline-2-acetonyl]-3′-[1-o-chlorophenyl-3-methyl-5-azomethine-2-pyrazolidene]-5′-(substituted phenyl)-Δ2-pyrazolines (4a–j). A comparative study in terms of yield and reaction period is shown in Table 1. The synthetic route of above mentioned compounds is shown in Scheme 1.

2.2 Microwave irradiation technique
All the reactions that used microwave irradiation (MWI) were completed within 9–10 min, whereas similar reactions under conventional heating (oil bath) at similar temperatures (110–120 °C) gave poor yields with comparatively longer reaction time period (Table 1), demonstrating that the effect of microwave irradiation is not purely thermal. Microwave irradiation facilitates the polarization of the molecules under irradiation causing rapid reaction to occur. This is consistent with the reaction mechanism, which involves a polar transition state (Loupy et al., 2001). The effectiveness of microwave irradiation and conventional heating for the synthesis of compound (4a–j) has been compared (Table 1). Under microwave irradiation conditions, the yields of (4a–j) are high (94–79%). Whereas using conventional heating the yields are only 49–73%.
3 Antimicrobial activity
The compounds (4a–j) were screened for their antibacterial activity against Bacillus substilis (ATCC 6633), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 1539) and antifungal activity against Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) and Candida krusei (G03) by filter paper disc technique (Desai and Desai, 2005a,b, 2006d,e). Standard antibacterial and antifungal drugs Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Penicillin and Flucanozole were also tested under similar conditions for comparison. Results are presented in Table 2. By visualizing the antimicrobial data it could be observed that some of the compounds possess significant activity.

3.1 Conclusion of activity
Zone of inhibition was measured in millimetre. The antifungal activities were compared to the standard drug flucanozole (30–35 mm) with DMF as solvent. Ampicillin (30–35 mm), amoxicillin (23–38 mm) and penicillin (30–38 mm) were used as standard drugs for antibacterial activity. Compounds (2), (4a), (4f), (4h) and (4i) showed significant antibacterial activity. Compounds (2), (3), (4a), (4e), (4f) and (4g) showed moderate to good antifungal activity (Table 2).
4 Experimental
4.1 General
All the melting points were determined in PMP-DM scientific melting point apparatus and were uncorrected. The purity of compounds was checked routinely by TLC (0.5 mm thickness) using silica gel-G coated Al plates (Merck) and spots were visualized by exposing the dry plates in iodine vapours. The IR spectra (υmax in cm−1) were recorded on a shimadzu FT-IR 8300 spectrophotometer using KBr or Nujol technique, UV spectra (λmax in nm) were recorded on a shimadzu UV – 160 A (200–400 nm) on using DMF as solvent, 1H NMR spectra on a Bruker WM 400FT MHz NMR instrument using CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as solvent and TMS as internal reference (chemical shifts in δ, ppm); 13C NMR on a Varian AMX 400 (100 MHz) spectrometer as solutions in CDCl3 and Mass spectra on a Jeol JMS D-300 spectrometer. The elemental analysis (C, H, N) of compounds was performed on Carlo Erba-1108 elemental analyzer. The microwave assisted reactions are carried out in a “QPro-M Microwave Synthesis System” manufactured by Questron Technologies Corporation, Mississauga, Ontario L4Z 2E9 has been used (Made in Canada). In this unit, microwaves are generated by magnetron at a frequency of 2450 MHz having an output energy range of 100–500 W and individual sensor for temperature control (fibre optic is used as a individual sensor for temperature control). There is an attachment of reflux condenser with constant stirring, avoiding the risk of high pressure development and permitting synthesis on preparative scales.
In the present work we used a new kind of QPro-M Microwave Synthesis System apparatus that is well suited for stringent reaction conditions [anhydrous atmosphere, controlled temperature (fibre optic is used as an individual sensor for temperature control) and attachment of reflux condenser with constant stirring]. This high-intensity microwave generator is equipped with magnetron. The frequency can be tuned at 2450 MHz.

6 Conclusion
In conclusion, this new method for the synthesis of quinazolinyl-Δ2-pyrazolines in glacial acetic acid under microwave irradiation offers significant improvements over existing procedures and thus helps facile entry into a variety of quinazolinyl-Δ2-pyrazolines of potentially high synthetic utility. Also, this simple and reproducible technique affords various quinazolinyl-Δ2-pyrazolines with short reaction times, excellent yields, and without formation of undesirable by-products.
A series of quinazolinyl-Δ2-pyrazolines derivatives were prepared and tested for their in vitro antibacterial activity against the four strains of bacteria (gram +ve, gram –ve) and antifungal activities against the two strains of human pathogenic fungi. Five compounds of the obtained series showed high in vitro antimicrobial activity. 2-(ω-chloroacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromoquinazoline-4(3H)-ones (2) showed excellent activity against B. substilis and P. aeruginosa, 1′-[3H-3-p-fluorophenyl-4-oxo-6-bromoquinazoline-2-acetonyl]-3′-[1-o-chlorophenyl-3-methyl-5-azomethine-2-pyrazolidene]-5′-(phenyl)-Δ2-pyrazoline (4a) showed excellent activity against E. coli indicated in vitro antibacterial activity comparable to or slightly lower than that of Ampicillin, Amoxicillin and Penicillin. Compound (2) and 2-(ω-hydrazinoacetonyl)-3-p-fluorophenyl-6-bromo quinazoline-4(3H)-one (3) showed excellent activity against C. krusei indicated in vitro antifungal activity comparable to or slightly lower than that of flucanozole. The substitution in the C(4) position of the phenyl ring by methoxy, chloro and phenoxy groups seems to be very important for antifungal effect, as well as the presence and the position of the –CH2COCH2– group in the connecting linker between the quinazoline and pyrazoline ring and quinazolinyl-Δ2-pyrazolines derivatives seems to be very important for anti bacterial effect.
