Synthesis and Antimicrobial Properties of New Thiosemicarbazide, 1,2,4-Triazole,and 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Derivatives of Sulfanylacetic Acid

Abstract

1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives are still considered a viable lead structure for the synthesis of more efficient antimicrobial agents having a broad spectrum of activity. This study presents the synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of a new series of substituted 1,2,4-triazole and 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. Reaction of 4-phenyl-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with ethyl bromoacetate yields the corresponding ethyl acetate (1). In the subsequent reaction with 100% hydrazine hydrate, the hydrazide (2) was obtained, which was converted with isothiocyanates to new acyl derivatives of thiosemicarbazide (3a–l). The cyclization of these compounds in alkaline media resulted in the formation of new derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole (4a–i), whereas in acidic media new derivatives of 1,3,4-thiadiazole (5a,b,g) were obtained. All synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activities.     

New Approaches for the Synthesis of 1,3,4-Thiadiazole and 1,2,4-Triazole Derivatives with Antimicrobial Activity

The thiosemicarbazide derivatives 3a and 3b were cyclized in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to give the 5-cyanomethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 4a and 4b , respectively. The latter products were used for many heterocyclic transformations to form coumarin, 1,3,4-thiadiazolo[4,5-a]pyridine, and 5-thiophenylthiophene. In addition, compound 3b underwent cyclization in NaOH (2 N) solution to give the 1,2,4-triazole derivative 16 . The reactivity of the latter product towards some chemical reagents was studied. The antimicrobial activities of the newly synthesized products were measured and showed high activities.     

Convenient synthesis,antimicrobial evaluation and molecular modeling of some novel quinoline derivatives

α, β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds 2a, 2b, 3, and 4 were synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation between 2-substituted quionoline-3-carboxaldehyde 1a and/or 1b with active methylene compounds. In addition, the synthesis of azlactone is achieved starting from 1a and N-acetylglycine. Synthesis of pyridine, pyrene, and pyrimidine derivatives 6–8 were accomplished via one-pot multicomponent reaction of 1b with acetyl acetone, malononitrile, and ammonium acetate; acetophenone, malononitrile, and NaOH; or acetyl acetone and urea in acidic medium. The new synthesized compounds showed good antimicrobial activities. The DFT calculations have been used to predict the electronic properties of the studied compounds.     

One-pot,four-component synthesis of benzylpyrazolyl naphthoquinone derivatives and molecular docking studies

A highly efficient, green, one-pot, four-component approach for the synthesis of benzylpyrazolyl naphthoquinone derivatives (5a–p) have been developed by the domino reaction of 2-hydroxy naphthoquinone, aromatic aldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, and phenyl hydrazine derivatives in water and employed p-toluene sulfonic acid (p-TSA) as the right choice of catalyst at reflux. Docking simulation was performed to position compounds 5a, 5b, and 5g into the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) structure active site to determine the probable binding model.     

Synthesis of some novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines and their fused derivatives

New pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline-3-carbonitriles 4a,b were obtained via cyclocondensation of 5-amino-3-cyanomethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (1) with enaminones of 1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives 2a,b in refluxing glacial acetic acid. Condensation of compounds 4a,b with various aromatic aldehydes furnished the corresponding arylidene derivatives 6a–j. On the other hand, condensation of 4a,b with o-hydroxybenzaldehydes yielded the polyheterocyclic compounds 10a–h. Coupling of compounds 4a,b with aryldiazonium chlorides led to formation of 2-arylhydrazono derivatives 12a–h. Also, reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate, followed by addition of ethyl chloroacetate and chloroacetonitrile, afforded the polyheterocyclic compounds based on pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline core. The reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate and elemental sulfur gave the thiazole-2-thione derivatives 25a,b. The reaction of enamines of compounds 4a,b with each of hydrazine hydrate and guanidine hydrochloride afforded pyrazolo[4″,3″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-8-ones 30a,b and pyrimido[5″,4″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-9(10H)-ones 33a,b, respectively. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses and spectral data. The plausible mechanisms have been postulated to account for their formation.

2-acetyl-3-amino-4,6-dimethylthieno[2,3-b]pyridine 1 reacted with dimethoxy-tetrahydrofuran in acetic acid and ethyl cyanoacetate in the presence of ammonium acetate or with NaNO₂ in the presence of an AcOH/HCl mixture to produce 2–4. Compound 2 reacted with aromatic aldehydes, semicarbazide hydrochloride, thiosemicarbazide, and phenyl hydrazine or with hydrazine hydrate to give compounds 5a–c and 11a–d, respectively.

Chalcone 5 reacted with hydrazines, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, or thiourea to produce compounds 6–9. Thiosemicarbazone 11b reacted with α -haloester to produce the corresponding thiazolidinone derivatives 12a, b ; also it reacted with ω -bromoacetophenone to give thiazoline derivatives 13a, b .     

Synthesis,reactions, and antioxidant activity of 3-(pyrrol-1-yl)-4,6-dimethyl selenolo[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives

Ethyl 4,6-dimethyl-3-(pyrrol-1-yl) selenolo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate (2) was synthesized by the reaction of previously prepared ethyl 3-amino-4,6-dimethyl selenolo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate (1) with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran in acetic acid. The pyrrolyl ester (2) was converted into the corresponding carbohydrazide 3 which reacted with acetyl acetone, aromatic aldehydes, carbon disulfide in pyridine, and sodium nitrite to afford the corresponding dimethyl pyrazolyl 4, arylidene carbohydrazides 5a–d, oxadiazolyl thiole 6, and caboazide compound 8, respectively. The carboazide 8 reacted with different alcohols and amines to give the corresponding carbamates 9a–c and the aryl urea derivatives 10a–d. Heating of carboazide 8 in dry xylene afforded the pyridoselenolo-pyrrolopyrazinone 11. The latter compound was used as a versatile starting precursor for synthesis of other pyridoselenolo-pyrrolopyrazine compounds. The newly synthesized compounds and their derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy (IR, ¹H-NMR, and mass spectra). Some of the newly synthesized pyrrolyl selenolopyridine compounds showed remarkable antioxidant activity compared to ascorbic acid.

Ultrasound mediated green synthesis of rhodanine derivatives: Synthesis,chemical behavior,and antibacterial activity

A variety of rhodanine derivatives were synthesized via a three-component reaction of carbon disulfide, amines, and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate in polyethylene glycol under conventional stirring or ultrasound irradiation. The sonochemical-assisted procedure provides an improved and accelerated conversion when compared to the conventional reaction, with increased rate of reaction and quality of product obtained. The product formed, 2a, could be readily converted to bis-rhodanine under microwave conditions. Moreover, the pyranothiazoles 9a,b were prepared from the corresponding rhodanines 2a,b and malononitrile. Fifteen compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities against nine human, animal and plant pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using the agar well diffusion method. Out of these derivatives, compounds 2g and 2h were the most effective against all tested bacteria.

Abstract

A diastereomeric mixture of nitriles 1a,b was prepared by a Strecker synthesis from D-glyceraldehyde acetonide and benzylamine. The reported selective hydrolysis of the acetonide group of 1a could not be accomplished.

The hydrochloride of 3a was transformed via sequential debenzylation, N-acetylation, reduction, and exhaustive acetylation to the 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-threose derivatives 5 and 6. The corresponding 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-erythrose derivatives 10a and 11 were prepared similarly from amine 3b.
