N-Methylpyridinium Tosylate Catalysed Green Synthesis,X-Ray Studies and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel (E)-3-Amino-2-(e)-(3, 4-Dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-Ylidene)Hydrazono)Thiazolidin-4-Ones

Abstract

3,4-Dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-ones 1,on reaction with thiocarbohydrazide, afforded monothiocarbohydrazones 2, which, on condensation with chloroacetic acid in the presence of an ionic liquid and bromotrimethylsilane furnish (E)-3-amino-2-(E)-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-(2H)-ylidene)hydrazono)thiazolidin-4-ones 3 in quantitative yields. Acetyl derivatives 5 were obtained from 3 with acetic anhydride. Monothiocarbohydrazones 2 on condensation with benzaldehyde yield azomethines 4. The structure of compounds 2–5 has been established by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectral data. The structure of compound 3a has been further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic data. The compounds 2–5 were screened for antimicrobial activity. The thiazolidinones 3a and 3b showed maximum antimicrobial activities.
