Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Some New Thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives of 4-(6-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)benzamine
A number of derivatives of 2-(substituted phenyl)-3-(4-(6-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl) thiazolidin-4-one (3a–j) have been synthesized from the reaction of 4-(6-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)benzenamine(1), with different substituted benzaldehydes (2a–j), followed by cyclocondensation reaction of the prepared imines with 2-meraptoacetic acid in high yields. Furthermore, the structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by FT-IR,13C-NMR,13C-DEPT, and1H-NMR spectral data. The imines and thiazolidin-4-one derivatives were evaluated for their antibacterial activity againstEscherichia colias gram negative andStaphylococcus aureusas gram positive, the results have shown significant activity against both types of bacteria.
