A Comparative Study on the Synthesis of 3'-Aryl-3-methyl/2, 3-Dimethylspiro[6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[a]cyclohepten-5, 2'-(Tetrahydro[1,3]thiazolane)]-4'-ones Using Microwave Irradiation and ConventionalMethods. -The one-pot synthesis of new spirothiazolidine derivatives (IV) (8 examples) by consecutive condensation of cycloheptenones (I) with aromatic amines (II) and mercaptoacetic acid under both microwave irradiation and conventional, thermal conditions is described. Both methods give moderate yields, but reaction times are reduced from several hours to a few minutes using microwave irradiation. Some of the spiro-compounds obtained show good antimicrobial activity. -(VENKATESWARLU*, P.; VASIREDDY, N. R.; J.
A convenient one pot synthesis of 3 '-aryl-3-methyl/2,3-dimethylspiro[6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[a]cyclohepten-5,2'-(tetrahydro[1,3]thiazolane)-4'-ones under microwave irradiation, as well as conventional methods, is described. Microwave irradiation has resulted in the reduction of time from hours to minutes. Antimicrobial activity of these compounds was studied and that some compounds gave positive results.
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.
