THE SYNTHESIS AND ANTITUBERCULAR ACTIVITY OF 4,5-DIHYDRO-1<i>H</i>-PYRAZOLE DERIVATIVES WITH A BASIC EPOXYBENZO[7,8]OXOCINE FRAMEWORK

Abstract

The corresponding pyridyl chalcones were synthesized by the aldol-crotonic condensation of the acetyl derivative of epoxybenzo[7,8]oxocino[4,3-b]pyridine with aromatic aldehydes. A subsequent cyclization with hydrazine hydrate in acetic acid led to the corresponding 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole derivatives. An assessment of the resulting derivatives for antitubercular activity was carried out.
