Abstract: A straightforward and a general method has been developed for the synthesis of some important functionalized 4-arylmethylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone derivatives by combining araldehydes and hippuric acid in the presence of catalytic amount of zinc oxide at room temperature in ethyl alcohol is reported. The method was very easy, rapid and products obtained were in excellent yields. The compounds were purified, characterized and were subjected for in vitro antibacterial activity (determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by micro titration method) using two standard drugs Streptomycin and Ampicillin against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Five of the synthesized compounds showed remarkable antibacterial activity when compared to that of standards.

soujanya :
hai sir
this souji,
research scholar from padmavathi university AP,
Sir I tried OXAZOLONE synthesis with ur method, really it is good, very fast, yield is high, but i have one doubt
how zinc oxide is eliminated from the compound,
product is not extracted with cold alcohol and
what is the recrystallization solvent

I hope you understood my doubt, pls send me reply
Thank you sir
