ABSTRACT:

Novel 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives synthesized from 2- Mercaptobenzothiazole reacted with ethyl chloroacetate to get ester derivatives (3) using Green method. These ester converted to hydrazids (4) by reaction with hydrazine hydrate under MWI. 5-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole (5a-g) synthesized from hydrazide, substituted benzoic acid and phosphprous oxochloried by Microwave irradiation as reported in literature. The structure of newly synthesized compound was established by physico-chemical and spectral data analysis.

 

KEY WORDS: 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole, hydrazine hydrate, substituted1,3,4-oxadiazole, substituted benzoic acid,

Microwave irradiation.

 


INTRODUCTION:

A review of the recent literature revealed that many effective antimicrobial agents show a heterocyclic moiety within their structure1 and, in particular, that substituted benzimidazole, benzoxazole, and benzothiazole derivatives bring different biological properties such as chemotherapeutical, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities, with a low toxicity for the antimicrobial therapeutic use in man 2–4. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies carried out on these types of heterocycles have shown that positions 2 and 6 are crucial for antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria strains 5. It has been found that 2-substituted benzothiazole have good potential to exhibit anticancer Activity6

 

Oxadiazole is important heterocyclic ring present in a large number of biologically active molecules of different pharmacological classes7. It is known to have fungicidal, bactericidal and herbicidal activities8.

 

All these observations prompted us to start a research program for the synthesis of small molecules potentially useful as antimicrobial agents. After a careful screening of various hetero nuclei, we have chosen to focus our attention on benzothiazole derivatives. In particular, we synthesized 2-mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives carrying oxadiazole moiety.

 

In present work, syntheses of the compounds having these two biologically active rings is carried out by green methods 9-10 which overhead on conventional methods 11-13  and confirmed further by their spectral analysis.

 

RESULT AND DISCUSSION:

The reaction between 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole 1 and ethylchloroacetate  2 in anhydrous K2CO3 and dry acetone medium followed by green method  resulted in formation of ethyl-2-(benzothiazolylthio) acetate 3, which on reaction with hydrazine hydrate gave [(2-benzothiazolylthio) acetyl]-hydrazine 4. The reaction of this comp. 4 with different substituted aromatic acids in presence of phosphorus oxychloride under microwave irradiation gave 5-(substituted phenyl-1,3,4–oxadiazol-2-yl)-2-mercapto benthiazole (5a-g)..The structures of the newly synthesized compounds 5a-g were established on the basis of spectral data. The synthetic route followed for obtaining the title compounds is outlined in Scheme I. The physical characterizations of 5a-g  given in Table I.

EXPERIMENTAL:

All the chemicals were obtained from commercial suppliers and used after further purification. All the melting points were determined in open capillary tubes and are uncorrected. The IR spectra (ὑ in cm-1) were recorded on a perkin-Elmer spectrophotometer in KBr pellets. 1HMR spectra were recorded on Varian Gemini (200 MHz) spectrometer using DMSO as solvent and TMS as an internal standard. All chemical shifts values are reported in δ scale downfield from TMS. Homogeneity of the compound was checked by TLC on silica gel             plates.

Conventional Method:

Dissolve the 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2.0 mol) in methanol and ethyl chloro acetate (2.0 mol) was added dropwise in presence of K2CO3 (8 g) in the mixture with stirring. The resulted mixture was refluxed for 10 hours and the reaction mixture poured into ice cold water and neutralized with dil HCl. The semisolid thus obtained was washed several times with water and left in water for 72 hours. The crystals formed were filtered, washed thoroughly with water and dried. The completion of the reaction was mentioned on T.L.C.

CONCLUSION:

The heterocyclic moieties of 5- substituted Oxadiazole derivatives of 2-marcapto benzothiazole even though have many biological activities but their synthesis involves non-green approach along with some hazardous outputs. The present work tried to synthesis heterocyclic compound carrying such biological activities and minimizes these along with minimal time consumption by the use of  green method like stirring, grinding, and microwave chemistry.
