%X A multicomponent one-pot clean cyclocondensation reaction of 4-chloro-2-nitro aniline/amino acids and aromatic aldehydes/indole-2,3-diones with thiosemicarbazide in water yielding triazole/spiro indole-triazole derivatives in high yields and shorter reaction time and displaying excellent florescent property is reported. The developed MCR may provide a valuable practical tool for the synthesis of new drugs containing the title core fragment. All the newly synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and fluorescence study and also been screened for antimicrobial activity. 1. Introduction Multicomponent and domino reactions are efficient and effective methods in the sustainable and diversity-oriented synthesis of heterocycles and such reactions have attracted enormous interest in recent years [1]. Thiosemicarbazide and its derivatives are an important class of synthetic compounds, having large variety of applications due to their wide spectrum of biological activities [2] including antiviral [3] and antitumoral [4] as well as parasiticidal activity against Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium berghei [5], Trypanosoma cruzi [6¨C8] Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [9], and Toxoplasma gondii [10]. The 1,2,4-triazoles and their derivatives are found to be associated with various biological activities such as anticonvulsant [11], antifungal [12], anticancer [13], antiinflammatory [14], and antibacterial properties [15]. Also several compounds containing 1,2,4-triazole rings are well known as drugs; for example, fluconazole is used as an antimicrobial drug, while vorozole, letrozole, and anastrozole are nonsteroidal drugs used for the treatment of cancer. The increasing diversity of small molecule libraries is an important source for the discovery of new drug candidates. In terms of this trend, the literature survey showed that indole derivatives possess anticancer [16, 17], antioxidant [18], antibacterial [19], antifungal [20, 21], antiviral [22, 23], and antihypertensive activities [24]. Indole-3-carbon atom in the form of spiro carbon atom exhibits enhanced biological activities [25, 26]. The important biological activities of triazole derivatives impelled us to take up the synthesis of these new combinational heterocycles which are likely to have augmented diverse biological activity. The developed MCR may provide a valuable practical tool for the synthesis of novel physiologically active agents containing the title core fragment. Several methods [27¨C30] for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives are reported in the literature but all
