Various 5-(fluoroaryl)-4-(hetero)aryl substituted pyrimidines have been synthesized based on the Suzuki cross-coupling and nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen (S-N(H)) reactions starting from commercially available 5-bromopyrimidine and their antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv has been explored. The outcome of the study disclose that, some of the compounds have showed promising activity in micromolar concentration against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H(37)Rv, Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium terrae, and multidrug-resistant strains isolated from tuberculosis patients in Ural region (Russia). The data concerning the 'structure-activity' relationship for fluorinated compounds have been discussed
