Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Evaluation of Some Novel Azo-Imine Compounds

Abstract

The oxidative cyclization of thiosemicarbazone (III) synthesized from reaction between substituted aryl aldehydes (I) with thiosemicarbazide (II) was done using ferric chloride as oxidative agent to get 2-amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (IV). 2-Amino-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole was introduced in condensation reactions with substituted aldehydes to obtain benzylidene imine derivatives (VI)1-5. Further these were treated with sulphanilic acid to give new 2-{[5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-imino] substituted benzene}diazenyl benzene sulfonic acid derivatives (VII)1-5. These derivatives were further characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectral studies and were screened for antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities.
