Required chemicals were procured from Merck and all these reagents and chemicals used for reaction without need further purification. The reaction progress was monitored by using thin layer chromatography using solvent hexane and ethyl acetate (7:3) ratio. NMR spectrum recorded by using the model Bruker 400 MHz spectrometer in DMSO-d6. Mass spectrums were recorded by using ESI mass spectrometer and IR was recorded with model Bruker Tensor 27 series FT-IR. The melting points were confirmed by Buchi melting point apparatus.

Biology
Antimicrobial activity
All the prepared molecules (6a-h) were tested antibacterial and anti-fungal activity by reported literature Agar disk-diffusion method [18]. For the antibacterial activity taken gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria at three different concentration checked zone of inhibition and we have taken reference drug Penicillin. Tested all the molecules shown good activity, for fungal studies took two strains and checked at three different concentrations compared with reference drug Clotrimazole, tested all compounds displayed excellent fungal activity. Particularly, 6g and 6a molecules exhibited utmost activity shown in table 2.

Molecular Modeling Studies
Prepared compounds molecular structure was was prepared in chem draw software drawn structures were minimized energy using the energy minimization module of discovery studio version 4.1 (DS 4.1 Accelrys Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and applied CHARMM force field. The three-dimensional structure of TNF-alpha inducing protein was retrieved from Protein Data Bank database with PDB: 3GIO Jang et al, 200918. The molecules structure preparation and correction of protein were performed using Discovery Studio 4.1 suite. The target protein file was make by eliminating the structural water molecule, hetero atoms and co-factors by leaving only the residues associated with protein by using ADS tool was used to prepare target protein file addition of polar hydrogen’s to the macromolecule. The molecular docking was performed using ligand fit module and obtained results were scrutinized based on number of H-bonds and highest dock score by SS Viewer Shyam et al. 201319. The molecular modeling results showed that all molecules exhibited very good binding energies towards the receptor active sites. Molecular docking results are identified based on the best interacted ligands, lowest binding energy, high docking score and the number of H-bonding, hydrophobic interactions at receptor site. The Table.2 represents the docking score and binding energies of compounds (6a-h). We performed docking with 8 ligands and identified the best interacted ligands with receptors on the basis of interactions and H-Bond distances as shown in Table 2 and (Figs. 2, 3). We performed for the all the molecules ADMET properties shown in Table 3 Compounds 6g, and 6a has shown good interactions with the receptor.
