; AJC-18665 2-Aminobenzothiazole (1) was converted to the corresponding diazonium salt which was introduced in coupling reaction with alkaline solution of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde as coupling reagent to give azo-benzothiazole derivative (2) bearing aldehyde group. The resulting aldehyde (2) was introduced in condensation reactions with the primary aromatic amines including (4-nitroaniline, 3-nitroaniline, 4-hydroxyaniline, 4-methoxyaniline, 2-methoxyaniline, 4-bromoaniline, 4-chloroaniline and 2,4-dichloroaniline) using microwave irradiation technique in absolute ethanol to produce eight imine derivatives of benzothiazole (3a-h), respectively. Treatment of the resulting imines (3a-h) with glycine using microwave irradiation in tetrahydrofuran afforded eight new imidazolidines (4a-h) substituted with benzothiazole moiety, respectively. Preliminary in vitro antibacterial activity of the target compounds were investigated using two types of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative). The results indicated that the newly synthesized imidazolidines (compounds 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 4g and 4h) exhibited greater activities than gentamycin against Gram-positive bacteria. On the other hand, compounds 4d and 4h were also showed better activities against Gram-negative bacteria when compared with that of the control drug (gentamycin).
5-(4-Aminophenyl)-2-thiol-1,3,4-oxadiazole (1) was synthesized via the reaction of carbon disulfide with 4-aminobenzoyl hydrazide in presence of potassium hydroxide in absolute ethanol. Compound 1 was converted to the corresponding diazonium salt which was introduced in coupling reaction with alkaline solution of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde as coupling reagent to give azooxadiazole derivative 2 containing aldehyde group. The resulting aldehyde 2 was then introduced in condensation reactions with the primary aromatic amines including (4-bromoaniline, 4-chloroaniline, 4-nitroaniline, 3-nitroaniline, 4-methoxyaniline and 4-hydroxyaniline) using microwave irradiation technique in absolute ethanol to produce six imine derivatives of 1,3,4-oxadiazole (3a-f), respectively. Treatment of the resulting imines 3a-f with glycine using microwave irradiation in tetrahydrofuran afforded six new imidazolidines 4a-f substituted with 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety, respectively. in vitro Antibacterial activity of the target compounds were investigated using two types of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative). The results indicated that the newly synthesized imidazolidines (compounds 4d and 4f) showed enhanced activity against Gram-negative bacteria when compared with that of the control drug (gentamycin).
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.
