Abstract: Several 1-(3-alkyl- resp. 3-arylthio-2-hydroxypropyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazoles were prepared starting from ornidazole. Some sulfones as well as sulfoxides were obtained by oxidation of corresponding sulfides by hydrogen peroxide. The structure of the prepared compounds was confirmed on the basis of IR, mass, NMR spectral data and elemental analysis. Antimicrobial activity of these compounds was also determined. No significant results were found in this respect.
