Abstract
3,4-Dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-ones 1,on reaction with thiocarbohydrazide, afforded monothiocarbohydrazones 2, which, on condensation with chloroacetic acid in the presence of an ionic liquid and bromotrimethylsilane furnish (E)-3-amino-2-(E)-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-(2H)-ylidene)hydrazono)thiazolidin-4-ones 3 in quantitative yields. Acetyl derivatives 5 were obtained from 3 with acetic anhydride. Monothiocarbohydrazones 2 on condensation with benzaldehyde yield azomethines 4. The structure of compounds 2–5 has been established by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectral data. The structure of compound 3a has been further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic data. The compounds 2–5 were screened for antimicrobial activity. The thiazolidinones 3a and 3b showed maximum antimicrobial activities.
