Determination of Melting Point of New 1,3,4-oxadiazole Bearing 2-flouro-4-methoxy Phenyl Moiety by Open Capillary Method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0093-YJL)

Introduction

1,3,4-Oxadiazole is a versatile lead molecule for designing potential bioactive agents. The 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives have been found to exhibit diverse biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-HIV, antitubercular, antimalarial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, hypoglycemic and other biological properties such as genotoxic studies and lipid peroxidation inhibitor.
Used extensively in the symptomatic treatment of rheumatic fever, arthritis (rheumatoid, osteo and Jaundice arthritis), myocardial infarctions and management of primary dysmenorrheal. The major side effects in the use of aryl alkanoic acids is their gastric irritation, which is partly due to the corrosive nature of carboxylic acid group present in them. In order to reduce or mask the side effects of carboxylic moiety, different 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles (4a–m) is synthesized via the condensation of 4-hydroxybenzohydrazide with various aromatic acids in presence of phosphorus oxychloride respectively in the hope of getting potent biodynamic agents and evaluate their antimicrobial activity.




Principle

Melting point is a characteristic property of solid crystalline substance. It is the temperature at which the solid phase changes to the liquid phase. This phenomenon occurs when the substance is heated.
In all major pharmacopoeias the open capillary method is described to determine the melting point (slip point) for fats, fatty acids, paraffin, and waxes. In a glass capillary tube open at both ends (1), 10 mm of sample is introduced (2), chilled to a given temperature and immersed into a water bath (3/4). The melting point with open capillary, also known as slip point or slip melting point, is the temperature at which the substance begins to rise in the capillary due to the effect of the increasing temperature and buoyancy.

Applications

Chemical industry; Cosmetic/pharmaceutical industry

Procedure

1. Prepare the substance.
2. Affix one of the capillaries to a thermometer.
3. Place the thermometer with an affixed capillary into a glass.
4. Increase the temperature.
