Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial evaluation of novel imines and thiazolidinones

Acta Pol Pharm. 2009 Mar-Apr;66(2):141-6.

Abstract

2-(4-Chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetohydrazide (2) derived from ethyl 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy) acetate (1) was reacted with different aromatic aldehydes to yield N-(substituted benzylidiene)-2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetamide (3a-e). Cyclization of compound (3a-e) with thioglycolic acid yielded 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)-N-(4-oxo-2-arylthiazolidin-3-yl) acetamide (4a-e). The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of spectral studies and evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities.
