Three-Component Synthesis of 2-Substituted Thiobenzoazoles Using Tetramethyl Thiuram Monosulfide (TMTM) as Thiocarbonyl Surrogate

A metal-free synthesis of 2-benzyl/allyl-substituted thiobenzoazoles was developed starting from tetramethyl thiuram monosulfide (TMTM) which served as thiocarbonyl surrogate. By using 2-aminophenols (or 2-aminothiophenols, or 1,2-phenylenediamines) and TMTM as starting materials, 2-mercaptobenzoazoles could be synthesized efficiently. The subsequent C–S bond formation with benzyl/allyl halides gave the final products (2-benzyl/allyl-substituted thiobenzoazoles) with good to excellent yields. The metal-free conditions, inexpensive and easily available starting materials, and broad substrate scope are the advantageous features of this protocol.

One-Pot Synthesis of 2-Benzyl/2-Allyl-Substituted Thiobenzoazoles Using Transition-Metal-Free Conditions in Water

A transition-metal-free protocol for the one-pot synthesis of 2-benzyl/2-allyl-substituted thiobenzoazoles in water was developed. The cyclization of 2-aminothiophenols, 2-aminophenols, and 1,2-phenylenediamines with tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) gave mercapto benzoheterocycles, and the subsequent C-S coupling with benzyl or allyl halides furnished the desired products in good to excellent yields. This method features transition-metal-free conditions with water as a solvent, an easy performance, mild reaction conditions, a wide substrate scope, and good to excellent yields, thus paving an efficient and useful way to establish a library of potentially active drug molecules.

Green Synthesis of Potential Antifungal Agents: 2-Benzyl Substituted Thiobenzoazoles

A series of benzyl-substituted thiobenzoazoles were synthesized by an environmentally friendly approach, to search for new antifungal agrochemicals. Compounds were prepared starting from 2-mercaptobenzoazoles, using KOH, benzyl halides, and water, resulting in a simple and ecological method. New antifungals were tested against a group of phytopathogenic fungi. Two compounds showed an interesting activity against Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, and Aspergillus spp.: 2-((4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)thio)benzo[d]thiazole, 3ac, and 2-((4-methylbenzyl)thio)benzo[d]thiazole, 3al. Thus, 3ac and 3al can be considered as broad spectrum antifungal agents. Furthermore, two new compounds, 2-((4-iodobenzyl)thio)benzo[d]thiazole, 3aj, and 2-(benzylthio)benzo[d]oxazole, 3ba, showed better inhibitory effect against Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum when compared to the commercial fungicide Captan. Thus, 3aj and 3ba can be considered reduced-spectrum antifungals.

Preparation and in vitro evaluation of benzylsulfanyl benzoxazole derivatives as potential antituberculosis agents

A set of 2-benzylsulfanyl derivatives of benzoxazole was synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, non-tuberculous mycobacteria and multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis. The activities were
