Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1491: Novel Thiazole Derivatives Containing Imidazole and Furan Scaffold: Design, Synthesis, Molecular Docking, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Evaluation Molecules doi: 10.3390/molecules29071491 Authors: Fatimah Agili Carbothioamides 3a,b were generated in high yield by reacting furan imidazolyl ketone 1 with N-arylthiosemicarbazide in EtOH with a catalytic amount of conc. HCl. The reaction of carbothioamides 3a,b with hydrazonyl chlorides 4a–c in EtOH with triethylamine at reflux produced 1,3-thiazole derivatives 6a–f. In a different approach, the 1,3-thiazole derivatives 6b and 6e were produced by reacting 3a and 3b with chloroacetone to afford 8a and 8b, respectively, followed by diazotization with 4-methylbenzenediazonium chloride. The thiourea derivatives 3a and 3b then reacted with ethyl chloroacetate in ethanol with AcONa at reflux to give the thiazolidinone derivatives 10a and 10b. The produced compounds were tested for antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Using phosphomolybdate, promising thiazoles 3a and 6a showed the best antioxidant activities at 1962.48 and 2007.67 µgAAE/g dry samples, respectively. Thiazoles 3a and 8a had the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli with 28, 25 and 27, 28 mm, respectively. Thiazoles 3a and 6d had the best activity against C. albicans with 26 mm and 37 mm, respectively. Thiazole 6c had the highest activity against A. niger, surpas...
