New 4-thiazoline-2-hydrazono-1H-2-indolinones as possible antimicrobial agents

Abstract

In order to test their antimicrobial activity a series of new 3-[(3-substituted-4-methyl-5-carboxy/carbetoxy-4-thiazolin-2 - ylidene)hydrazono]-1H-2-indolinones (3a-i/4) were synthesized from the reaction of 3-(4-substituted-3-thiosemicarbazono-1H-2-indolinones (1a-I) with 2-chloroacetoacetic acid ethyl ester (2). All synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, EIMS and elementary analysis.
