ABSTRACT:
Organometallic thiazole derivatives have emerged as a promising class of compounds in medicinal and materials chemistry due to their unique structural features and versatile biological activities. Incorporating transition like Iron, copper, zinc and main group like Sodium, potassium, magnesium metals into thiazole scaffolds often enhances their pharmacological potential, including antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Microwave-assisted synthesis has proven to be an efficient, rapid, and environmentally friendly strategy for the preparation of such compounds, offering significant advantages over conventional thermal methods, such as reduced reaction times, improved yields, and cleaner reactions. The pharmacophore 2-aminothiazole is an interesting component of pharmaceutical chemistry because it facilitates the synthesis of molecules with a wide range of biological activities. Schiff base derivatives also play a significant role in the evolution of medications. Schiff bases with imine or azomethine (-C=N-) functional groups are useful pharmacophores for designing and developing various types of bioactive chemicals. Microwaves aid in the condensation of amines with carbonyl compounds to produce Schiff base metal complexes. This review covers the green synthesis and biological uses of Schiff bases, including 2-aminothiazoles and their metal complexes, using microwave irradiation.
