Microwave Assisted Synthesis of Novel 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrocarbazolyl thiazolidin-4-ones and Azetidin-2-ones and its Biological Behavior
A new family of 1,2,3,4 – tetrahydrocarbazolyl thiazolidin-4-ones(4a-e)and 1,2,3,4–tetrahydrocarbazolyl azetidin-2-ones(5a-e)were individually derived usingN-[(α-substituted bezylidenehydrazino) acetyl] -1,2,3,4-tetra-hydrocarbazoles3a-eby cyclization with thioglycolic acid and chloro- acetylchloride respectively. The compounds(3a-e)were prepared by condensation ofN-(hydrazinoacetyl) 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole (2) with a series of aldehydes. The compound 2 was obtained by the hydrazinolysis ofN-(chloroacetyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole (1). These products were characterized by IR, NMR, MASS spectra and by elemental analysis. All the titled compounds(4a-e)and5(a-e)were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities.
