Studies on Thiazolopyridines. Part 1: Antimicrobial Activity of Some Novel Fluorinated Thiazolo[3,2-a]Pyridines and Thiazolo[2′,3′:1,6]Pyrido[2,3-d]Pyrimidines

Abstract

Ternary condensation of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and thioglycolic acid (2:2:1 molar ratio) in ethanol/piperidine afforded the corresponding thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines 1a-d . Thiazolo[2',3':1,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine 4 was obtained by refluxing of compound 1a with acetic anhydride. Also, thiazolopyrido pyrimidine 6 was produced by refluxing of 1a with triethylorthoformate followed by treatment with hydrazine hydrate. Refluxing 1a with formic acid yielded the thiazolopyridopyrimidine 8 which on chlorination with thionyl chloride furnished the chloro derivative 9 . Finally, amino thiazolo[2',3':1,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine 10 was obtained by treatment of 1a with formamide. The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, 1 H NMR, and mass spectral data. Also, the antimicrobial activity of some synthesized compounds is reported.
