Synthesis of some N-[4-(benzothiazole-2yl) phenyl]-2-aryloxyacetamide derivatives and their anticancer activities

Abstract

In this study, some N-[4-(Benzothiazole-2-yl) phenyl]-2-aryloxyacetamide derivatives were prepared by reacting N-[4-(benzothiazole-2yl)phenyl]-2-chloroacetamide and different substituent phenol or thiophenol derivatives. The anticancer activities of the compounds obtained were investigated. It was observed that some of the compounds, namely 25 and 38, showed notable anticancer activity.
