Abstract
Abstract A series of 6-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-3-phenyl imidazo[2,1- b ][1,3]thiazole ( 5a–f ) and 3,6-bis (1-benzofuran-2-yl)imidazo[2,1- b ][1,3]thiazole ( 6a–d ) derivatives are synthesized by the reaction of 1-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-2-bromoethanones ( 2a–b ) with 4-phenyl-1,3-thiazol-2-amines ( 4a–c ) and 4-benzofurano-1,3-thiazol-2-amines ( 3a–b ) respectively. The structures of newly synthesized compounds are characterized by IR, 1 H NMR and mass spectroscopic studies and were screened for their antimicrobial activities. The preliminary results revealed that some of the compounds exhibited promising antimicrobial activities.
