Ultrasound promoted synthesis, characterization and computational studies of some thiourea derivatives

Abstract

Synthesis of some thiourea derivatives have been achieved by using ultrasound, the compounds have been characterised using IR, NMR, GC-MS and elemental analysis. The single crystal X-ray structure of N-[(benzyloxy)methanethioyl]benzamide (IV), 1-benzoyl-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiourea (V) and 3-benzoyl-1-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)thiourea (VI) has been presented and the bond lengths and bond angles contrasted with computed results. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels as well as the global chemical reactivity descriptors of the compounds have also been computed and discussed. Two comformers were obtained for compounds IV to VI in the molecular Electrostatic potential and the vibrational frequency computations and these have been discussed.
