Abstract. Synthesis of new series of N-3-[-{2-(substituted phenyl-4-oxo-5-(substituted benzylidene)-1,3-

thiazolidine}-carbamyl]-propyl-2-aminothiazole, 5(a–s) have been developed. The cycloaddition reaction of

thioglycolic acid with N-{3-(substituted benzylidine-carbamyl)-propyl}-2-aminothiazole, 3(a–s) in the presence

of anhydrous ZnCl2 afforded new heterocyclic compounds N1-3-[-{2-(substituted phenyl-4-oxo-1,3-

thiazolidine}-carbamyl]-propyl-2-aminothiazole 4(a–s). The latter product on treatment with several selected

substituted aromatic aldehydes in the presence of C2H5ONa undergoes Knoevenagel reaction to yield 5(a–s).

The structure of compounds 1, 2, 3(a–s), 4(a–s) and 5(a–s) were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FAB

mass and chemical analysis. All final compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against some

selected bacteria and fungi and antituberculosis study against M. tuberculosis, gave acceptable activity.

Graphical Abstract. A new series of N-3-[-{2-(substituted phenyl-4-oxo-5-(substituted

benzylidene)-1,3-thiazolidine}-carbamyl]-propyl-2-aminothiazole, 5(a–s) have

been synthesized from 2-aminothiazole. The structures of compounds were

confirmed by spectroscopic and chemical methods. All the compounds were

screened for their antimicrobial and antituberculosis activities.

Keywords. Synthesis; aminothiazole; thiazolidinone; antimicrobial; antitubercular.
