New bis-hydrazonothioxothiazolidinone derivatives based on 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one were synthesized in good yields using a simplified experimental condition. The structure of synthesized compounds was established with the help of common physico-chemical analysis and various spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, mass and ¹H NMR. The results of characterizations are in good agreement with the proposed structure of all the synthesized compounds. Further, the antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activities of all the synthesized derivatives were carried out against various species like Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Aspergillous niger and Aspergillous flavus by using agar-cup method. The results of antimicrobial screening showed that all the compounds have mild to moderate activity. However, some of the compounds (3a, 3b, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g, 3i and 3j) have shown better activity than the other.

This dissertation presents a method for the synthesis of substituted indoles bearing heterocyclic substituent in the 3- position. The route for the synthesis of the heterocyclic substituents indoles starts from the 3-acetyl indole nucleus. The reaction of 3-acetyl indole 1 with hydrazide compounds such as phenylhydrazine, hydrazine hydrate, and thio-semicarbazide, yields 3-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono) ethyl)-1H-indole 2, 3-(1-hydrazonoethyl)-1H-indole 6, and thiosemicarbazone 10, respectively. Thiophene-2-carboxaldeyde, isatine and 3-acetyl indole reacted with 3-(1-Hydrazonoethyl)-1H-indole 6. In the same way, 3-(1-(2-phenylhydrazono) ethyl)-1H-indole 2 reacted with thioglycollic acid, glycine and benzaldehyde. Thiosemicarbazone 10 reacted smoothly with acetic anhydride, piperidine, concentration of hydrochloric acid and thiophene-2-carboxaldeyde to provide the corresponding heterocycles. The reaction of 3-acetyl indole 1 with amine compounds such as p-nitroaniline formed Schiff base 15, which reacted with thioglycollic acid to give compound 16. 3-Acetyl indole 1 reacted with ethylene diamine to afford bis imine indole 17.

A new series of di- and tri-organotin(IV) compounds with the general formula R_4?n SnL _n , where R?=?Me (1,2), Et (3), n-Bu (4,5), n-Oct (6), Ph (7) and L?=?(E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propenoate, were synthesized by reaction of silver salt of ligand or ligand acid with diorganotin dichloride/oxide and triorganotin chloride in 2:1 and 1:1 molar ratio, respectively. These compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR and mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic results revealed that all the diorganotin(IV) compounds possess trigonal bipyramidal structures in solution and octahedral geometry in the solid state around the tin atom. A linear polymeric trigonal bipyramidal structure in the solid state and a tetrahedral environment around the tin atom in non-coordinating solvents has been proposed for the triorganotin(IV) compounds. All synthesized compounds were tested in vitro against a number of microorganisms to assess their biocidal activity. These studies revealed that ligand acid and some of its organotin compounds show promising activity against different strains of bacteria and fungi but lowered than reference drugs.
