title: Synthesis of some 2-hydroxy-1-[(4-chloro-2-mercaptophenyl)sulfonyl]imidazole derivatives with potential anticancer activity.
abstract: Several 2-(hydroxy or alkoxy)-1-[(4-chloro-5-R1-2-mercaptophenyl)sulfonyl]limidazoles [II-VI, IX-XI] and bis ¿5-chloro-4-methyl-2-[(2-aryloxyimidazol-1-yl)sulfonyl]phenyl disulfides [XII-XV] were obtained by either the selective hydrolysis or alcoholysis of the appropriate 7-R1-8-chloroimidazo[1,2-b] [1,4,2]benzodithiazine 5,5-dioxides [Ia-d]. The structures of the products and their S-substituted derivatives [VII, VIII] were established on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral data (IR, 1H and 13C NMR). Preliminary screening data indicated that the investigated compounds [III, X, XII and XIII] exhibited weak [III, X], moderate [XII] or fairly high [XIII] activity against some human tumor cell lines (Table 1).
