New hetrocyclic derivatives of 7- aminocephalosporinic acid comprisiry 7-[2-(6-
aryl-5-arylimino-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) thioacetamido
and dithio acetomido moieties are reported. Oxidation of 2-mercapto-6-aryl- 5-
arylimino-5, 6-dihydro imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles(1-5)by H2O2 resulted 2,2-
dithio bis(6-aryl-5-arylimino- 5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,l-b0-l,3,4- thiadiazoles (6-10)
and then converted into dithio acetic acid derivatives (11-15). The acid chlorides of
compounds (11-15) were prepared from their reactions with thionyl chloride -
triethyl amine, which upon stirring with amino cephalosporinic acid (7-ADCA) at
room temp yielded the corresponding cephalosporins (16-20). On other hand,
compounds (1-5) were converted into thioacetic acid derivatives (21-25) by reaction
with chloroacetic acid in alkaline medium , which upon following same steps as for
preparation of (16-20) yielded the corresponding cephalosporins (26-30).
Furthermore, the antimicrobial activities against both Gram-positive and Gramnegative
bacteria were evaluated for the synthesized of compounds |
