New 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole derivatives were synthesized. 4,5-disubsitituted 1,2,4-Triazole compounds 1b-2c were synthesized from 2-(benzylthio) benzimidazole compound a, which was then reacted with (NaH) in dioxane at a temperature of (0-5 C°) to produce the salt of compound a. Then the salt was reacted with ethyl chloro acetate to yield Ethyl 2-(benzylthio) benzimidazole acetate compound b. Compound b was converted to triazole derivatives by two pathways. The first pathway was reacting compound b with semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide and phenylsemicarbazide in DMSO as a solvent to gain compounds 1b-3b, which were then cyclized by refluxed with 2N (NaOH) to yield 1,2,4-triazole derivatives compounds 4b-6b. The second pathway involved the treatment of compound b with hydrazine hydrate to produce N-acetohydrazide-2-(benzyl thio) benzimidazole c. Compound c was refluxed with carbon disulfide (CS2) in KOH alcoholic solution to obtain the salt compound 1c. The salt was treated with hydrazine hydrate to yield 1,2,4-triazole derivative compound 2c. The newly synthesized compounds b-2c were identified by FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR and their physical properties were measured. Furthermore, their anti-microbial activities were tested against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria and against one strain of fungi. Also, some of these synthesized compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
