The synthesis and cytotoxic activity studies of a new series of cyclic amine containing benzoxazole and benzoxazolone derivatives are described. The 2-cyclic amine-1,3-benzoxazoles 5a-k, 5-chloro-3-(3-chloropropyl)-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-one 8 and 3-[3-(cyclic amino)-propyl]-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-ones 9a-f were synthesized. The newly synthesized compounds with the influence of the presence of cyclic amine moiety in the benzoxazole scaffold have been evaluated with respect to their cytotoxic effect toward four human cancer cell lines. The new compounds were evaluated to see whether substitution at the second and third position of the benzoxazole motif influence their cytotoxic effect toward cancer cells.

A simple, straightforward, and energy-efficient greener route for the synthesis of a series of biologically interesting functionalized 1,1-dihomoarylmethane scaffolds has been developed in the presence of meglumine as an efficient and eco-friendly organo-catalyst via one-pot pseudo-three-component reaction at room temperature. Following this protocol, it is possible to synthesize 1,1-dihomoarylmethane scaffolds of an assortment of C–H activated acids such as dimedone, 1,3-cyclohexadione, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone, 4-hydroxycoumarin, and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-pyrazolone. The salient features of the present green protocol are mild reaction conditions, good to excellent yields, operational simplicity, easy isolation of products, no cumbersome post treatment, high atom economy, and low E-factor. In addition, this chemistry portrays several green advantages including the reusability of reaction media and product scalability, which makes protocol sustainably efficient. Additionally, several control experiments such as protection of catalyst reactive site, D 2 O exchange, and 1 H NMR studies revealed possible pathways for meglumine-promoted reactions. Inspired by the natural physiological environment of 1,1-dihomoarylmethane scaffolds, we reconnoitered the biological profile of our compounds and synthesized compounds that were promising for their antiproliferative and antibacterial activities.

The synthesis and antimicrobial activity studies of a new series of cyclic amine containing benzoxazoles and benzoxazolone-2(3H)-ones derivatives were described. The alkylation of benzoxazolone was carried out using cesium fluoride-Celite. The newly synthesized compounds with the influence of the induction of the cyclic amine moiety in the benzoxazole scaffold have been evaluated with respect to the antibacterial and antifungal activity. The 2-cyclic amine-1,3-benzoxazoles (5a-l), 5-chloro-3-alkyl substituted-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-ones (8a-f), and 3-[3-(cyclic amine)propyl]-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3H)-ones (9a-f) were synthesized. These derivatives were tested for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Among the compounds tested, 8c and 9f showed moderate to good antibacterial and antifungal activity. Compound 8a showed good antifungal activity.
