Abstract:
Some aryl and/or heterocyclic mercaptans were allowed to react with 8-quinolyl chloroacetate (II), 8-quinolinoxyacetyl chloride (IV) and 3-(2'-chloroethyl)-2-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (X) in dry benzene and/or sodium hydroxide in absolute ethanol to give corresponding 8-quinolyl-alpha-mercaptoacetate (V), 8-quinolinoxythioacetate (VI) and 3-(2'-arylmercaptoethyl)-2-methyl-4-(3H)quinazolin-4-ones or 3-(2'-heterocyclicmercaptoethyl)-2-methyl-4(3H)-quinazolin-4 -ones (XIa-h). The mercaptans V and XI were subjected to oxidation with hydrogen peroxide/acetic acid mixture (1:2) to afford the corresponding sulfones VII and XII. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic (IR and 1H-NMR) and elemental analyses. Some of these compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activities in comparison with tetracycline as a reference compound.
