title: Preparation of N'-[2-(5,6-dimethylbenzothiazolyl)]-N-furfuryloxamide with plant growth regulatory activity.
abstract: The reaction of the N-furfuryloxamic acid sodium salt (12) with 1,1'-oxalyldiimidazole (ODI) yielded the imidazolide (13) as an intermediate, and this directly reacted with 2-aminothiazole derivatives (14) or 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives (15) under essentially neutral conditions to afford the N'-12-(substituted thiazolyl)]- or N'-[2-(substituted benzothiazolyl)]-N'-furfuryloxamides (6 or 7). The prepared compounds (6 and 7) were examined for plant growth regulatory activity in a seed germination assay. The examination resulted in the discovery of some new revelations that N'-[2-(5,6-dimethylbenzothiazlyl)]-N-furfuryloxamide (7c) at the concentration of 1.0 x 10(-3) M completely inhibited the radicle growth of both rape and leek seedlings.
