A strategic approach for synthesis of benzimidazo[2,1-b]thiazolidinone appended dispirooxindole hybrids via [3 + 2] cycloaddition using fluoro-ethanol as solvent

Green design and synthesis of some novel thiazolidinone appended benzothiazole-triazole hybrids as antimicrobial agents

The global increase in bacterial resistance poses a significant threat, jeopardizing the effectiveness of antibiotics. Therefore, the development of new and efficient antimicrobial agents is pre-dominant. Taking this into consideration, in the present study, we designed and reported the facile synthesis of two novel series benzothiazole-triazole and thiazolidinone-appended benzothiazole-triazole hybrids using a molecular hybridization approach in a one-pot process. The synthesized compounds were tested for microbial growth inhibition against bacterial and fungal strains. Among all the synthetics, compounds derived from methoxyphenyl and heteroaromatic ring substitutions exhibited promising inhibitory activity. The current investigation has emphasized that benzothiazole-triazole hybrids incorporating thiazolidinone can be a promising and potent category of molecules with potential biological activities. This sustainable and eco-friendly protocol involves the metal-free, catalyst-free synthesis of bioactive scaffolds, which merges broad tolerance for functional groups with a short reaction time, resulting in good to excellent yields.

Diastereoselective Synthesis of Dispiro[Imidazothiazolotriazine-Pyrrolidin-Oxindoles] and Their Isomerization Pathways in Basic Medium

Highly diastereoselective methods for the synthesis of two series of regioisomeric polynuclear dispyroheterocyclic compounds with five or six chiral centers, comprising moieties of pyrrolidinyloxindole and imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine of linear structure or imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[2,3-c]-1,2,4-triazine of angular structure, have been developed on the basis of a [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides to functionalized imidazothiazolotriazines. Depending on the structure of the ethylenic component, cycloaddition proceeds as an anti-exo process for linear derivatives, while cycloaddition to angular ones resulted in a syn-endo diastereomer. Novel pathways of isomerization for the synthesized anti-exo products upon treatment with sodium alkoxides have been found, which resulted in two more series of diastereomeric dispiro[imidazothiazolotriazine-pyrrolidin-oxindoles] inaccessible with the direct cycloaddition reaction. For the first series, the inversion of the configuration of one stereocenter, i.e., C-4' atom of the pyrrolidine cycle, (epimerization) was established. For the second one, configuration of the obtained diastereomer formally corresponded to the syn-endo approach of the azomethine ylide in the case of cycloaddition to the ethylenic component.

Synthesis, Structure and Stereochemistry of Dispirocompounds Based on Imidazothiazolotriazine and Pyrrolidineoxindole

Methods for the synthesis of two types of isomeric dispirocompounds based on imidazothiazolotriazine and pyrrolidineoxindole, differing in the structure of imidazothiazolotriazine fragment, namely, linear dispiro[imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazine-6,3'-pyrrolidine- 4',3″-indolines] and angular dispiro[imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazine-7,3'-pyrrolidine-4',3″-indolines] were proposed. The first method relies on a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides generated in situ from paraformaldehyde and N-alkylglycine derivatives to the corresponding oxindolylidene derivatives of imidazothiazolotriazine. The cycloaddition leads to a mixture of two diastereomers resulted from anti- and syn-approaches of azomethine ylide in approximately a 1:1 ratio, which were separated by column chromatography. Another method consists in rearrangement of linear dispiro[imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazine-6,3'-pyrrolidine-4',3″-indolines] into hitherto unavailable angular dispiro[imidazo[4,5-e]thiazolo[2,3-c]-[1,2,4]triazine-7,3'-pyrrolidine-4',3″-indolines] upon treatment with KOH. It was found that the anti-diastereomer of linear type underwent rearrangement into the isomeric angular syn-diastereomer, while the rearrangement of the linear syn-diastereomer gave the angular anti-diastereomer.
