Design and Synthesis of Some New Derivatives of Chlorobenzyl-Oxy-Phenyl-Ethyl-Thio-1H-Tetrazole and Study Their Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity

In recent years tetrazole scaffolds have been attracted interest in the field of synthetic and medicinal chemistry research. The unique structure of the tetrazole derivatives exhibits widespread applications in biology and technology. The close structural resemblance with carboxylic acid acts as a booster of the latter. Due to this diversified potential utilization, several methods are reported for the synthesis of tetrazole scaffolds. Here in this chapter, we describe the synthesis of chlorobenzyl-oxy-phenyl-ethyl-thio-1H-tetrazole derivatives ( 6a-p ). The newly synthesized derivatives are characterized by spectral characterization and screened for their antifungal activity. Among these, some of the newly synthesized compounds show potent antifungal activity.
