Synthesis of New Fluorine Substituted Heterocyclic Nitrogen Systems Derived from p-Aminosalicylic Acid as Antimycobacterial Agents

الملخص EN

Some new fluorine substituted heterocyclic nitrogen systems 2–17 have been synthesized from ring closure reactions of substituted p-amino salicylic acids (PAS).

The Schiffs base of PAS was cyclized with chloroacetyl chloride and mercaptoacetic acid to give azetidinone 2, thiazolidinone 3, and spiro-fluoroindolothiazoline-dione 10.

However, PAS when reacted directly with 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride and 5-oxazolinone yielded derivatives 4, 5, and 7.

Aminomethylation of PAS using formaldehyde and piperidine or piperazine formed N-alkyl and N,N′-dialkyl derivatives (11 and 12 respectively) upon fluorinated benzoylation gave compounds 13 and 14.

Similarly, treatment of PAS with thiosemicarbazide 15 and subsequent cyclization with diethyl oxalate yielded the fluorinated heterocycle 17.

The structures of the fluorinated heterocyclic systems have been established on the basis of elemental analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectral data.

Some of the targets exhibited a high inhibition towards Mycobacterium strain with favorable log P values.
