Abstract
An expeditious one-pot synthesis of a novel heterocyclic system, 3′-(2-aminobenzimidazolyl)-2-phenyl spiro[4H-benzopyran-4,2′-thiazolidin]-4-ones, has been accomplished by condensing substituted hydrazinobenzimidazole, flavanone, and mercaptoacetic acid by conventional heating in ethanol or toluene, and in an ionic liquid, viz., 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate. Excellent yields (85%–90%) and higher purity are obtained in the ionic-liquid-mediated synthesis as compared with the conventional procedure (55%–60%). Further, these compounds were acylated with trifluoroacetic anhydride. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectral data, and elemental analysis. The compounds, upon evaluation for their antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal activities, exhibited excellent results. [Supplemental materials are available for this article.
