ABSTRACT 2, 4-disubstituted Oxazoles (2) were prepared from Hippuric acid/acetyl glycine, substituted aromatic aldehydes, acetic anhydride and sodium acetate as a catalyst. Further reacting with hydrazine hydrate yielded corresponding hydrazones (3), which on condensation reaction with different aldehydes revealed final Schiff base. The structures of the compounds have been elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis. Keywords: Hippuric acid, Acetyl glycine, Oxazoles, Hydrazones.

INTRODUCTION
Substituted Oxazole derivatives are found to be associated with various biological activities such as antibacterial1, antifungal2, antitubercular3, anti-inflammatory4. Oxazoles are well known as important structural units in a wide variety of biologically active natural products as well as useful synthetic intermediates5-7. The oxazolone ring occurs naturally and the total synthesis of natural products with a wide variety of biological activities containing Oxazole moiety is an area of intense research. Other applications of Oxazole derivatives include the use as pesticides, fluorescent whitening agents, lubricants, dyes and pigments 8-16. Therefore, there is considerable interest of having available efficient routes to these heterocycles and better understand their reactivity. The ability of , -unsaturated ketones to react with various nucelophilic reagents prompted us to synthesis some new fused oxazole compounds. Schiff base of 2-methyl / phenyl -4-benzylidene -5hydrazino -1, 3-Oxazole (4) were obtained by condensing 2-methyl / phenyl-4-benzylidene-5-Oxo-1, 3Oxazole (2) with hydrazine hydrate and aromatic aldehydes (Scheme-1).

EXPERIMENTAL
Melting points of all synthesized compounds were determined in open capillary tubes on an electro thermal apparatus and are uncorrected. The purity of the compounds was monitored by thin layer chromatography on silica gel coated aluminium plates (Merck) as adsorbent and UV light as visualizing agent. IR spectra (KBr in cm-1) were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer spectrophotometer in the range of 4000-400 cm-1. 1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian 500 MHz NMR spectrometer using CDCl3/DMSO-d6 as solvent and TMS as an internal standard (chemical shifts in ppm). Synthesis of 2, 4-disubsituted-oxazoles (2) A mixture of aromatic aldehydes (0.25 moles), Hippuric acid (44.8 gm, 0.25 mole) / acetyl glycine (29 gm, 0.25 moles), anhydrous sodium acetate (15 gm), and acetic anhydride (59 ml) was heated at 110C, with constant stirring. The mixture become almost solid, and then as the temperature rises, it gradually liquefies and turns deep yellow in color. After completion of the reaction monitored by TLC the reaction is allowed to cool and ethanol (100 ml) is added slowly to the contents of the flask. After allowing the reaction mixture is left to stand overnight, the yellow color product is filtered and washed with ice cold ethanol and finally with boiling water and recrystallized in ethanol to yield 2a. 2-methyl / phenyl-4-Benzylidene-5-hydrazino-1, 3- Oxazole (3)

Mixture of 2 (0.05 mole), Hydrazine hydrate (0.05 mole), Methanol (10 mL) was taken in 100 mL round bottom flask and the mixture was reflux for 1 hr. After monitoring the reaction on TLC, the reaction mixture was cooled and dumped on to ice, filtered and recrystallized from ethanol to yield 3. Schiff base of 2-methyl / phenyl-4-Benzylidene-5-hydrazino-1, 3-Oxazole (4) Mixture of 3 (0.05 mole), aromatic aldehydes (0.05 mole), Potassium hydroxide (0.1 mole), Ethanol (10 mL) was taken in 100 mL round bottom flask and the mixture was reflux for 4 hrs. After monitoring the reaction on TLC, the reaction mixture cooled and dumped on to ice, filtered and recrystallized from ethanol to yield 4. The physical and characterization data of the compounds 4a-u are listed in the Tables I Antimicrobial evaluation Representative samples were screened for their antimicrobial and antifungal activity against gramnegative bacteria, E coli and P aeruginosa and gram-positive bacteria, S aureus, and C diphtheriae using disc diffusion method17, 18. The zone of inhibition was measured in mm and the activity was compared with standard drug. The results of antibacterial screening studies are reported in Table II.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


The Schiff base of 2-methyl / phenyl -4-benzylidene -5-hydrazino -1, 3-Oxazole (4) were obtained by condensation of 2-methyl / phenyl-4-benzylidene-5-Oxo-1, 3-Oxazole (2) with hydrazine hydrate followed by different aromatic aldehydes with good yield. Further, the representative compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against gram negative as well as gram positive bacteria, which shows convincing activity.
