Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel Series of 1-((4-Methyl-2-Substituted Thiazol-5-yl)Methyleneam INO)-2-Substituted Isothiourea Derivatives

Abstract

A novel series of 1-((4-methyl-2-substituted thiazol-5-yl)methyleneamino)-2-substituted isothiourea derivatives was synthesized by alkylation of (Z/E)-1-((4-methyl-2-substituted thiazol-5-yl)methylene)thiosemicarbazide with alkylhalide in acetone. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry) methods. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity. Most of the compounds show moderate to excellent antimicrobial activity.
