Microwave Assisted Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Some Novel Hydrazones Containing Pyridine Moiety

A series of novel hydrazone derivatives containing pyridine moiety were designed and synthesized from 2,3-dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine as starting materials under microwave irradiation, and their structures were characterized by 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The biological activity of title compounds was determined. The results indicated that some of title compounds exhibited good antifungal activity.
