Benzothiazole Derivatives. 48. Synthesis of 3-Alkoxycarbonylmethyl-6-bromo-2-benzothiazolones and 3-Alkoxycarbonylmethyl-6-nitro-2-benzothiazolones as Potential Plant Growth Regulators

3-Alkoxycarbonylmethyl-6-bromo- and 3-alkoxycarbonylmethyl-6-nitro-2-benzothiazolones were synthesized by reaction of alkylesters of halogenoacetic acids with 6-bromo-2-benzothiazolones and 6-nitro-2-benzothiazolones respectively. The compounds were tested for plant growth stimulating activity on wheat (Triticum aestivum). The bromo derivatives manifested 25.4 % average stimulating activity in comparison with the control. The stimulation activity of the nitro derivatives was not significant. Optimal structures of the compounds were obtained by a MMPI method, atomic charges and dipole moments were calculated by a semiempirical AM1 method. On the basis of molecular electrostatic potential it has been found that the biological activity of synthesized compounds depends on charge distribution in the molecules

3-(2-Alkylsulfanyl-6-benzothiazolylaminomethyl)-2-benzoxazolethiones - Synthesis and Photosynthesis-Inhibiting Activity in Spinach Chloropasts

The synthesis and photosynthesis-inhibiting activity of 14 new 3-(2-alkylsulfanyl-6-benzothiazolylaminomethyl)-2-benzoxazolethiones are reported. The new compounds were prepared by the reaction of 2-alkylsulfanyl-6-aminobenzothiazoles with 3-hydroxymethyl-2-benzoxazolethione. The structures of the compounds were verified by 1H NMR spectra. The compounds inhibit photosynthetic electron transport in spinach chloroplasts. The photosynthetic activity was found to depend on the calculated lipophilicity of the new compounds. Some structure characteristics and quantum chemical parameters were calculated by AM1 method

New Anticandidous 2-Alkylthio-6-aminobenzothiazoles

The synthesis and antimicrobial activity of six new 2-alkenyl-6-aminobenzothiazoles are reported. The new compounds were prepared by alkenylation of the potassium salt of 6-amino-2-mercaptobenzothiazole with alkenyl bromides. The structure of the compounds was verified by 1H NMR spectra. The compounds have shown antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and anticandidous activity against Candida albicans. The optimum structure of the studied compounds has been calculated by quantum chemistry AM1 method. The theoretical values of lipophilicity were calculated for all alkenyl substituents

Synthesis and Reactions of New 4-Oxo-4H-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehydes Containing Hydroxy Groups or 2-Oxopyran Cycles

The synthesis of eight hydroxy- and 2-oxopyranochromone-3-carboxaldehydes 3, 5 and their reactions with 2-hydroxyaniline, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and 2-benzothiazolylhydrazine were investigated. Products were confirmed by IR, NMR spectral and elemental analysis data. The semi-empirical AM1 quantum-chemical method has been used to study optimal geometries and heats of formation of synthesized 3-formylchromones
