Abstract

The novel compounds were prepared to start from cephalexin in this work. It was converted into five-membered rings (1,3-oxazole and 1,3-thiazole). The cephalexin was reacted with ethanol absolute and hydrochloride at first to obtain compound (2), and in the second step, compound (2) reacted with thiourea to obtain a compound (3), then compound (2) reacted with urea to obtain a compound (4); when compound (4) was reacted with 4-phenyl phenacyl bromide, we got 1,3-oxazole derivative from this reaction, also when compound (3) reacted with 4-phenyl phenacyl bromide in the presence of absolute ethanol, we got 1,3-thiazole derivative. The melting points of the synthesized compounds were recorded, the purity was checked by TLC, and the structures of the prepared compounds were identified by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectra. The biological activity of these compounds was tested.

Introduction

1,3-Oxazole is distinctive five-membered nitrogen and oxygen-containing heterocyclic compound. The versatility of this heterocyclic ring system makes it an important class of heterocyclic compounds [1].

Oxazole, the utility of oxazole as intermediates for the synthesis of synthesizing new chemical entities in medicinal chemistry, have been has increased in the past few years. Oxazole is an essential heterocyclic nucleus having with a wide spectrum of biological activities which. It drew the attention of researchers around the globe to synthesize various oxazole derivatives and screen them for their various biological activities. The present review article aims to review the work reported on the therapeutic potentials of oxazole scaffolds which are valuable for medical applications during the new millennium. It was first made in 1947. Substitution patterns in oxazole derivatives are essential for determining biological activity, for example, antibacterial, anti-cancer, antitubercular, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiobesity, and antioxidant, among others [2].

Thiazole is a five-membered aromatic heterocyclic chemical molecule with the molecular ring formula C3H3NS. Hantzch and Weber were the first to describe thiazole in 1887. In 1889, Prop verified its structure. The sulfur atom is the starting point for thiazole numbering. Numerous publications have been published highlighting their chemistry and pharmacological applications. In thiazoles, the Pi-electron delocalization is more significant than in equivalent oxazole’s [3]. Free thiazole is a light-yellow liquid with a pyridine-like smell. Thiazole derivatives are one of the most active groups of chemicals with a wide range of applications, such as antibacterial activity [4], antifungal properties [5], antimalarial properties [6], antitubercular action [7], antiviral action [8], anti-inflammatory activity [9], antidiabetic activity [10]. Anthelmintic action [11-17], anticonvulsant action (12,18), antioxidant activity [13-19] and as well as anti-cancer properties [14-20]. Many thiazole scaffolds, such as commercialized anti-cancer medicines, have been discovered to have solid antitumor efficacy [15].

Materials and Methods

The melting points (°C) of all the materials are unadjusted. A Perkin-Elmer spectrophotometer was used to measure the FT-IR spectra. On a 400 MHz device, the 1H-NMR spectra were acquired. TMS was used as the internal reference while DMSO was used as the solvent. Melting points (°C) were determined using Gallen Kamp melting point equipment with a heated stage, and no adjustments were made. Infrared spectra were captured using a Fourier Transform infrared SHIMADZU (8300) (F.T.IR) infrared spectrophotometer, and KBr discs were examined using a SHIMADZU (8400) (F.T.IR) infrared spectrophotometer (Ibn -Sina company, Baghdad-Iraq). Fertigfollen precoated sheets type polygram Silk was used for thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and the plates were produced using iodine vapor. Thiourea, urea, and 4-phenyl phenacyl bromide were utilized in the experiment.

The melting temperatures of the synthesized compounds were recorded, and the purity was confirmed using FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectra. The FT-IR spectrum reveals that the hydroxyl group (O-H) has disappeared at 3300 cm-1 and the band appeared at 1762 cm-1 due to the carbonyl ester group in the compound (2)  and we can the results of infrared spectroscopy showed bands other  as in Table 1, 1H-NMR spectrum for compound 2 shows the following distinctive chemical shifts: At 7.54-7.31 ppm the aromatic ring protons emerged as numerous signals, a signal at 4.97 ppm as a result of the O-CH2- group, at δ 1.96 ppm due to the -CH3 group, the signal at δ 2.49 ppm for Me, δ 9.57 ppm NH2, at δ 9.55 ppm for NH, at δ 4.98 ppm for Ar-CH-NH2 at δ 5.05 ppm =N_CH- and at δ 4.98 ppm for _CH_S_. 1H-NMR of compounds (3), (4), (8), and (9) are listed in Table 2. Compound (3) is prepared by reacting an ester compound (2) with thiourea in the presence of ethanol in its pure for; for 7 hours, the mixture was refluxed.
