title: Synthesis and Antimicrobial Evaluation of a New Series of Heterocyclic Systems Bearing a Benzosuberone Scaffold.
abstract: A series of novel benzosuberone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as antimicrobial agents by using substituted benzosuberone derivatives 1a,b as starting materials. Treatment of 1a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate in dimethylformamide was followed by treatment with cold HCl solution to afford the thioamides 4a,b, which was reacted with methyl iodide to obtain methylated products 5a,b. Cyclocondensation of 4a,b with chloroacetone 6 and phenacyl chloride 7 gave the corresponding thiophene derivatives 9a-c. Reaction of 4a,b with C-acetyl-N- arylhydrazonoyl chlorides 14a and 14b in boiling EtOH in the presence of triethylamine, afforded the corresponding 1,3,4-thiadiazoline derivatives 16a-d. The thioamides 4a,b were reacted with C-ethoxycarbonyl-N-arylhydrazonoyl chlorides 18a,b which afforded 1,3,4-thiadiazoline derivatives 19a-d. The benzosuberones 1a,b were treated with 3-mercaptopropanoic acid to give compounds 21a,b, which were cyclized to tricyclic thiopyran-4(5H)-one derivatives 22a,b. The latter compounds 22a,b were reacted with 3-mercaptopropanoic acid to give compounds 23a,b, which were cyclized tetracyclic ring systems 24a,b. Finally, compounds 24a,b were oxidized using hydrogen peroxide under reflux conditions to afford the oxidized form of the novel tetracyclic heterogeneous ring systems 25a,b. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for antimicrobial activities. The structures of new compounds were characterized by ¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, and EI-MS.
