Synthesis and Antibacterial Activity of Some New Derivatives of Thiosemicarbazide and 1,2,4-Triazole

Abstract

In a reaction of hydrazides of cyclohexylacetic acid 1 and phenylacetic acid 2 with isothiocyanates, respective thiosemicarbazide derivatives 3–18 were obtained. Further cyclization with 2% NaOH led to the formation of 5-(cyclohexylmethyl/benzyl)-4-substituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones 19–34. Structures of all new products were confirmed by analytical and spectroscopic methods. All compounds were screened for their in vitro activity against some species of bacteria and fungi.
