Abstract

An efficient and high-yield synthesis of a class of new α-aminophosphonate derivatives as diethyl α-aryl/2-thienyl-α-[2-(phenylthio)phenylamino]methylphosphonates 6a–j in short reaction times from three component coupling reactions (Kabachnik-Fields reaction) of 2-aminodiphenylsulfide 3, substituted phenyl/heterocyclic aldehydes 4a–j, and diethyl phosphite 5 is reported. The reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of the catalyst, nano-silica-supported boron trifluoride (BF₃·SiO₂) without using solvent under microwave irradiation. The title compounds were tested for in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities at concentrations of 100 and 200 μg/disc. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were also examined.

Abstract

Thiosemicarbazides (2a–e) were obtained by the interaction of furan-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1) with five different isothiocyanate (RNCS) derivatives. By addition of KOH to the reaction medium, ethyl, allyl, phenyl and benzyl, p-tolyl substituted 1,2,4-triazoles (3a–e) were obtained. 3a–e were dissolved in dry acetone containing K₂CO₃ in the presence of 2-chloro-1-(3-methyl-3-mesitylcyclobutyl) ethanone (4) to give 3,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazole sulfanyl compounds containing a cyclobutane ring (5a–e). The structures of the final compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR. The antioxidant and antitumor properties of the synthesized compounds were also investigated. Three of the triazole derivatives with p-tolyl, benzyl and phenyl substituents (5c–e) displayed good antioxidant and antitumor activity in comparison to the standards.

Synthesis of some novel 3,4,5-trisubstituted triazole derivatives bearing quinoline ring and evaluation of their antimicrobial activity

Abstract

Some new 3,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and studied for their antimicrobial activity. The lead compounds were obtained starting from 8-hydroxyquinoline and ethyl 2-chloroacetate. The obtained ester compound (1) first reacted with hydrazine hydrate (2) then with phenyl isothiocyanate (3). Ring closure by KOH led to 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivative (4). Lastly, it reacted with 2-chloro-N-(substituted (benzo)/thiazole)acetamide derivatives to obtain the final compounds (5a–j). The structural elucidation of the compounds was performed by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry techniques and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against seven bacteria and four fungi. As a result of the activity studies, it was observed that compounds N-(6-nitrobenzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[4-phenyl-5-((quinolin-8-yloxy)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]thio]acetamide (5a) and N-(6-fluorobenzothiazol-2-yl)-2-[[4-phenyl-5-((quinolin-8-yloxy)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]thio]acetamide (5d) were the most active molecules. Also, the antifungal activity of the compounds was found to be higher than their antibacterial activity although lower than the standard drug’s potential. Additionally, the physicochemical properties of the compounds were calculated which were evaluated to be at a suitable range for oral administration.
