Synthesis,Antimicrobial, and Anthelmintic Activities of Some New 3-Chlorobenzothiophene-2-Carbonylchloride Derivatives

3-Chlorobenzothiophene-2-carbonylchloride 1 was prepared from cinnamic acid and then converted into the acid hydrazide 2. Reaction of 3-chloro-1-benzothiophene-2-carbohydrazide 2 with the appropriate isothiocyanate yielded the substituted thiosemicarbazides 3a–b, which are cyclized into thioxotetrahydropyrimidine 4a–b, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles 5a–b, thiazolidine 6a–b, 1,3,4-oxadiazole 7a–b, triazoles 8a–b, 1,2,4-triazole substitutedthioate 9a–f, and 1,3-thiazolylidenes 10a–b, respectively. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectral data and have been screened for antimicrobial and anthelmintic activities.
