Dehydrative cyclization of chalcones 1a-d with thiosemicarbazide in refluxing dioxane containing few drops of acetic acid gave the corresponding 4,5-dihydropyrazoles 2a-d which were subsequently oxidized with sodium hypochlorite in dioxane to give pyrazole-1-carbothioamides 4a-d. N-acetyl derivatives of pyrazole-1-carbothioamides were obtained by two routes. Treatment of either hydrazones 3a-d or pyrazole-1-carbothioamides 4a-d with acetic anhydride gave the desired N-acetyl derivatives of pyrazole-1-carbothioamides 5a-d. Finally, cyclocondensation of chalcones 1a-d with thiourea in ethanolic potassium hydroxide gave the corresponding pyrimidine-2-(1H)-thiones 6a-d. The structural identification of products is reported and also the heterocyclic compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity. %K chalcones %K hydrazones %K pyrazoles %K pyrimidines %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.ajoc.20120202.05.html
