A novel and efficient amidation of 2-aminothiazole

Synthesis, X-ray structure, antimicrobial activity, DFT and molecular docking studies of N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide

In the present study, N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide, C10H9NOS2, (I), was obtained by the reaction of thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride and thiophen-2-ylmethanamine. Characterization of (I) was carried out using X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. The DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) theoretical level was successfully applied to calculate the optimized geometry and the local and global chemical activity parameters. The results obtained show good agreement between the experimental and theoretical geometrical parameters. The local and global chemical activity parameters were examined to determine the electrophilic and nucleophilic sites in (I). The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of (I) gives an efficient methodology for investigating the inter- and intramolecular bonding, as well as giving a convenient basis for investigating charge transfer or conjugative interactions in molecular systems. Also, the antimicrobial activity of (I) was investigated against eight microorganisms using the microdilution method and it is found to have an effective antibacterial activity. In addition, molecular docking studies were calculated in order to understand the nature of the binding of (I) with a lung cancer protein (PDB entry 1x2j).

Experimental and theoretical investigations on a furan-2-carboxamide-bearing thiazole: synthesis, molecular characterization by IR/NMR/XRD, electronic characterization by DFT, Hirshfeld surface analysis and biological activity

A thiazole-based heterocyclic amide, namely, N-(thiazol-2-yl)furan-2-carboxamide, C8H6N2O2S, was synthesized and investigated for its antimicrobial activity. The structure was characterized by elemental analysis and IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The molecular and electronic structures were investigated experimentally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and theoretically by density functional theory (DFT) modelling. The compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n and the asymmetric unit contains two symmetrically independent molecules. Several noncovalent interactions were recorded by XRD and analysed with Hirshfeld surface analysis (HSA) calculations. Natural bond orbital, molecular electrostatic potential, second-order nonlinear optical and thermodynamic property analyses were also carried out using the DFT/B3LYP method. The title compound was evaluated for antimicrobial activity against eight microorganisms consisting of Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. The compound showed good antimicrobial activity against the eight tested microorganisms. This suggests that the compound merits further study for potential pharmacological and medical applications.
