Iminoester hydrochlorides 1 have been synthesized. These compounds werethen converted into ester ethoxycarbonyl hydrazones 2, from which in turn a new seriesof substituted 4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5-ones, 3, was then prepared.Finally a set of isatin imine derivatives 4 was obtained from the reaction of compounds 3with isatin. The structures of all the new synthesized compounds were confirmed byelemental analyses, IR, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectra.

A number of 3-aryl-4-arylmethylideneamino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding aromatic aldehydes with 4-amino-3-aryl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones in anhydrous ethanol under microwave irradiation. The newly synthesized 1H-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were tested for antimicrobial activity. They showed no antibacterial activity but slight mycostatic activity against some Candida species.
