Abstract:
Indenocarbothioamides 2, obtained from reaction of indane-1,3-dione with aryl isothiocyanates, on condensation with 3-chloropentane-2,4-dione and chloroacetyl chloride furnished 1,3-indanedione coupled thiazole and thiazolidin-5-one derivatives, respectively. The structure of the obtained products was assigned on the basis of spectral data (IR, NMR and Mass). Prototropic tautomerism studies of carbothioamides 2 were carried out in solution (1H NMR, 13C NMR and UV-vis), gas phase (Mass) and solid state (IR and X-ray). X-ray diffraction studies of carbothioamide 2a have revealed the existence of enolic form in the solid state. DFT studies of various possible tautomeric forms in gas phase as well as in solution state corroborated by the experimental results. Antibacterial studies of indenothiazole and indenothiazolidin-5-one derivatives have been reported.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
