2-Amino-5-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)thiophene-3-carbonitrile have been synthesized from 1-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone, malononitrile, a mild base and sulfur powder using Gewald synthesis technique and the intermediate was treated with 1,3-disubstituted pyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde to obtain the novel Schiff bases. 1,3-disubstituted pyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde derivatives have been synthesized by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction in the course of a multi-step reaction. The structure of novel compounds were established on the basis of their elemental analyses IR,

antimicrobial activity. Among them 5a, 5c, 5f and 5h showed excellent activity when compared to other derivatives. Remaining derivatives showed moderate activity.
Abstract2‐amino‐5‐(3‐fluoro‐4‐methoxyphenyl)thiophene‐3‐carbonitrile derivatives have been synthesized from 1‐(3‐fluoro‐4‐methoxyphenyl)ethanone, malononitrile, mild base, and sulfur powder using the Gewald method through a multistep reaction sequence. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of their elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectral data, and then synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity. Among them, derivatives 3b (thiphene), 3f (pyrazole), and 3d (halogen) showed good activity and remaining derivatives exhibited moderate activity.
In aim of obtaining novel bio‐active compounds, a new series of 5‐(3,5‐difluorophenyl)‐2‐(2‐imino‐5‐arylidene)‐4‐oxothiazolidin‐3‐yl)thiophene‐3‐carbonitrile (6a–d) and N‐(3‐cyano‐5‐(3,5‐difluorophenyl)thiophen‐2‐yl)‐2‐(substitutedamino)acetamide (7a–f) were synthesized via Gewald's method and characterized by 1H/13C nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier‐transform infrared, mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses. All the newly prepared compounds were screened for their in vitro anti‐tubercular activity against virulent strain M. tuberculosis (H37Rv) at different concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 100 μg/ml. Most of the compounds were potent showing better inhibition at concentrations 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml. The anti‐inflammatory activity of the compounds was studied using inhibition of albumin denaturation technique. Tested compounds exhibited remarkable anti‐inflammatory activity. Hemolytic assay also confirmed that compounds are non‐toxic with a percentage hemolysis ranging from 1.81 to 14.94 at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The results suggest that amino‐substituted acetamide and thiazolidin‐4‐one moiety, as well as the substitution pattern on the heterocyclic ring, have an effect on bioactivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
