Abstract: Green environmentally energy source used for degradation of Poly (ethylene terephthalate), which used as versatile intermediate for the synthesis of a form of heterocyclic compounds. Triazoles 5, 6a, b, 7, 9 and 22 oxadiazol 11, thiazolidin 11, pyrazole 18 and 20 derivatives; All the structures of the newly compounds were established by the spectroscopic data such as IR, Ms and ¹H and ¹³C NMR. The new heterocyclic exhibited high antimicrobial and antioxidant action.

Keywords: sun energy; poly (ethylene terephthalate); oxadiazole; triazole; pyrazole; thiazolidine; antimicrobial; antioxidant.
