4-arylthiosemicarbazides

An efficient synthesis of N-glucosylated 1, 2, 4-dithiazolidines from 1-arylidene-4-arylthiosemicarbazides and N-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosylimino chloromethane sulphenyl chloride has been worked out. 1-Arylidene-4-arylthiosemicarbazides were synthesized by reacting different aryl/hetero aryl aldehydes/ketones with 4-arylthiosemicarbazides. The identities of new glucosylated heterocycles have been established on the basis of usual chemical transformation, IR, NMR and mass spectral studies. The final compounds were screened for biological activity against different bacterial strains.
