A simple method for the synthesis of a pyrasolyl-thiazole derivative containing a piperonal moiety was developed by microwave irradiation. The microwave synthesis route afforded better yields with shorter reaction time. Their chemical structure was confirmed by IR, 1H, 13 C, NMR, mass and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were also screened for their potent antimicrobial activity.

This research was the learning tools development research for chemoentrepreneurship-based hydrocarbon and petroleum materials which was valid and effective in increasing the students’ soft skills and interest in entrepreneurship. Pretest-posttest control group design was used as the research design and was conducted outside of the classroom.
