Abstract
A synthesis of novel hybrid molecules containing thiazole or bis(thiazoles) each bearing benzofuran and/or benzo[d]thiazole moieties by the reaction of the appropriate thioamide derivatives with the corresponding bis-bromoacetyl derivatives is reported. Mono- and bis(triazolothiadiazine) derivatives based on benzofuran or benzo[d]thiazole moieties were also synthesized in good yields by the reaction of the appropriate bis(bromoacetyl) derivatives with each of 4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles and their corresponding bis-derivatives.

Materials and methods
Melting points were determined in open glass capillaries with a Gallenkamp apparatus. Elemental analyses were carried out at the Microanalytical Center of Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. The infrared spectra were recorded as potassium bromide disks on a Pye Unicam SP 3-300 and Shimaduz FTIR 8101 PC infrared spectrophotometer. NMR spectra were recorded with a Varian Mercury VXR-300 NMR spectrometer operating at 300 MHz (1H NMR) and 75 MHz (13C NMR), a Varian VXR spectrometer operating at 400 MHz (1H NMR) and 101 MHz (13C NMR) and a Varian VXR spectrometer operating at 500 MHz (1H NMR) and 126 MHz (13C NMR). Mass spectra (EI) were obtained at 70 eV with a type Shimadzu GCMQP 1000 EX spectrometer. Analytical thin-layer chromatography was performed using pre-coated silica gel 60,778 plates (Fluka), and the spots were visualized with UV light at 254 nm. Acetyl derivatives 1a,b,[Citation70] bromoacetyl derivatives 2a,b,[Citation70] bis(acetophenones) 9a–c,[Citation53] bis(α-bromoketones) 10a–c,[Citation53] bis(thiosemicarbazones) 12a–c,[Citation62] 4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole 14a,b[Citation79,Citation80] and bis(4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles) 16a–d[Citation81] were prepared according to the literature procedures.
