Synthesis of thiourea derivatives bearing the benzo[b]thiophene nucleus as potential antimicrobial agents

Abstract

The synthesis of a group of thiohydantoins and thiobarbiturates derived from 2-N-arylthiopyridocarbonyl-3,5-dichlorobenzo[b]thiophene is described. The structures of the new compounds are supported by IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectral data. These compounds were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activities.
