Abstract :Eleven novel 1,2,4-triazolylbenzotriazoles have been prepared using 1-insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(hydrazinylcarbonylmethyl);-1$H$-benzot- riazole insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3); as a potent intermediate. Compound 3, however, was obtained from benzotriazole in two steps. All synthesized compounds were characterized by detailed spectral studies like IR, $^{1}$H NMR, $^{13}$C NMR, and mass spectrometry. All synthesized compounds were evaluated for their \textit{in vitro} antimicrobial activity against seven strains of bacteria and four strains of fungi. Compounds 13, 17, 19, 20, and 21}were found to possess antibacterial activity comparable to that of ciprofloxacin against a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain. Except for compounds2 and 13, all compounds showed good antifungal activity against an Aspergillus niger strain as compared to miconazole. The synthesized compounds were also evaluated for their antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DPPH); assay and the results are encouraging, especially for compounds 3,20, and 21.
