New approaches for the synthesis and cytotoxicity of thiazoles derived from cyclohexanone
Abstract:
A new class of substituted thiazole derivatives 6a-c which showed promising anticancer activity was synthesized via the reaction of cyclohexanone with phenylisothiocyanate with a good yield. The latter compounds reacted with benzendiazonium chloride to form corresponding 5-phenylazothiazole derivatives 8a and 8b, respectively. Moreover, the reaction of thiazole derivatives 6a-c with each of elemental sulfur and either of malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate gave the thiophene derivatives 10a-e, respectively. Compounds 10a-e were subjected to a series of heterocylclization reactions to give heterocyclic derivatives. Their cytotoxicity against four human tumor cells lines was measured and showed promising anticancer activity.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
