The efficient multicomponent synthesis of thiazolidinones from the reaction of arenealdehydes, mercaptoacetic acid and 2-picolilamine or 2-aminopyridine under ultrasound irradiation are reported. The reaction with 2-aminopyridine needs a Lewis acid catalysis to afford the corresponding 2-aryl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones. All novel compounds were identified and characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra. Applying the sonochemical methodology, two series of heterocyclic thiazolidinones were synthesized in good yields after short reaction times.
Fifteen 7-chloro-4-arylhydrazonequinolines have been evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against eight oral fungi: Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. lipolytica, C. tropicalis, C. famata, C. glabrata, Rhodutorula mucilaginosa, and R. glutinis. Several compounds exhibited minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) activities comparable with the first-line drug fluconazole. These results could be considered as an important starting point for the rational design of new antifungal agents.
This study describes the synthesis of fourteen thiazinanones from a multicomponent reaction of 2-morpholinoehtylamine (as primary amine), arenealdehydes (as carbonyl compound) and the mercaptopropionic acid using both conventional (thermal heating) and ultrasound methodologies. Through thermal heating methodology, the thiazinanones were obtained in 49 to 97% yields for 16 hours and through sonochemistry methodology, the reaction time was reduced for 25 minutes with yields 41 to 88%. The full identification and characterization of unpublished heterocycles were achieved by proton ( 1 H) and carbon 13 ( 13 C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and infrared. Some of them were also characterized by elemental analysis.
A series of nineteen benzothiazin-4-ones from N-(3-aminopropyl) piperidine, 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine or 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperidine, aliphatic or aromatic aldehyde and thiosalicylic acid, were synthesized in good yields by multicomponent one-pot reactions. The solvent was toluene and this efficient procedure afforded the desired heterocycles in 5 h. Identification and characterization were achieved by NMR and GC–MS techniques. In vitro AChE activities of all compounds were evaluated in cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats and in general, the results in cortex were more promising than hippocampus. The benzothiazinone 5Bd showed the best AChE inhibition activity IC50 8.48 μM (cortex) and IC50 39.80 μM (hippocampus). The cytotoxicity of seven compounds in MCR-5 human fibroblast cell by SRB test in 24 h were evaluated and 5Bd suggest preliminary safety, showing no cytotoxicity at 100 µM. Finally, these important findings could be a starting point for the development of new AChE inhibitors agents and will provide the basis for new studies.
This work reports the synthesis of thiazolidin‐4‐ones and thiazinan‐4‐ones analogous to rosiglitazone, a potent antidiabetic drug. The desired compounds were synthesized with moderate to good yields by one‐pot reactions between different primary amines, mercaptoacetic or mercaptopropionic acids, and the 4‐(2‐(methyl(pyridin‐2‐yl)amino)ethoxy)benzaldehyde. The cyclocondensation reactions were carried out for 20 h, and all the products were characterized by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and one example by X‐ray diffraction.
Methods for the synthesis of a variety of functionalized 2‐iminothiazolidines and related heterocycles through a base‐mediated domino nucleophilic displacement/intramolecular anti‐Michael addition process involving electron‐deficient allylic bromides and 1,3‐ambident nucleophiles derived from thiourea were developed. These transformations proceed under mild and simple conditions and different functional groups are well tolerated. The scope and limitations of this protocol are dependent on the structure of the allylic bromide and 1,3‐ambident nucleophile involved. The synthetic versatility of 2‐iminothiazolidines was further demonstrated through a series of chemoselective modifications, giving rise to a wide range of thiazolidine frameworks of structural complexity. In particular, the reductive cyclization of 2‐nitrobenzyl‐substituted 2‐iminothiazolidines furnished novel spiroquinolones in good to fair yields. The structural assignment of key products was unequivocally achieved by X‐ray diffraction analysis and two‐dimensional NMR techniques.
