Abstract:
2-Isothiocarbamoyl substituted fused pyrazolines and their S-alkyl derivatives were prepared as potentially antimicrobial agents. Conventional methods were used to synthesize the novel derivatives starting from cyclic unsaturated ketones and thiosemicarbazide under acidic catalyst. These cyclizations yielded only one diastereoisomer of 3-H, 3a-H cis. The alkylations were performed applying alkyl halides. The structures of the new compounds, including configurations and conformations, were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, also making use of 2D-HSC, DEPT and DNOE measurements. The S-alkyl derivatives were evaluated for activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and their in vitro toxicity was determined on HeLa cells. The structure-activity relationship was also studied.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
