A series of potential biologically active substituted 2,5-di(4 aryloylaryloxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 9a-j were evaluated for its potential antimicrobial activity comparing with the standard drugs-Streptomycin and Ketoconazole respectively. Compound 9a with fluoro group exhibited highest activity against both gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria. Compounds 9a with fluoro group and 9c with fluoro and bromo showed good activity against antifungal activities.
