A novel gold(I)-mediated intramolecular transamidation of thiourea derivatives to yield benzamides via dethiocyanation have been achieved by the reaction of 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-1-(benzoyl)thiourea derivatives in the presence of gold(I) precursors. The compounds have been characterized using IR, NMR, GC-MS and microanalysis. The single crystal XRD of 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-1-(3-bromobenzoyl)thiourea (5), 3-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-1-(3-methoxybenzoyl)thiourea (6), N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzamide (10), N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-chlorobenzamide (11), N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-nitrobenzamide (12), N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-bromobenzamide (14) have been discussed. The novel transformation is thought to proceed by a gold(I)-mediated intramolecular transamidation reaction which releases thiocyanate to yield the benzamide. Density functional theory calculations have been used to support the proposed mechanism for this transformation.

Five series of thiourea derivatives bearing benzothiazole moiety (20 compounds) were efficiently synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The results indicated that the compounds possessed a broad spectrum of activity against the tested microorganisms and showed higher activity against fungi than bacteria. Compounds 1b, 2b, 3b, 4b and 5b exhibited the greatest antimicrobial activity. Preliminary study of the structure-activity relationship revealed that electronic factors in benzothiazole rings had a great effect on the antimicrobial activity of these compounds. In preliminary MTT cytotoxicity studies, the thiourea derivatives (2d, 5c and 5d) were found most potent. In MCF-7 and HeLa cells, the IC50 values were observed in the range of 18-26?μM and 38-46?μM, respectively.
