A highly efficient and rapid synthesis of 2-amino-4-arylthiazoles and 2-methyl-4-arylthiazole from alpha-bromoketone and thiourea/thioamide is described using room temperature ionic liquid at ambient conditions. The method is simple, rapid and practical, generating thiazole derivatives in excellent isolated yields. This protocol is utilized for a commercially feasible synthesis of an anti-inflammatory agent, Fanetizole. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The reactions of 2-lithiothiazole on 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxyglyconolactones have been studied, which resulted in the formation of two products, major (3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-1-(2-thiazolyl) glycal) and minor products 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-1-(2-thiazolyl) glycal hemiketal. The hemiketal-keto tautomerism in solution was observed in the minor product. The tautomerism has been studied in various organic solvents and their ratios have been determined by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The major product from the reaction of 2-lithiothiazole with 2-deoxygluconolactone was utilized for the synthesis of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-2-heptulosonic acid DAH 4 a and 3-deoxy-D-arabino-2-heptulopyranose commonly known natural product kamusol 6 a via acid catalyzed hydration followed by stereoselective methyl glycoside bond formation. Similarly, major product from 2-deoxygalactonolactone furnished 5-epi-DAH 4 b (C-5 epimer of 4 a) and 5-epi-kamusol 6 b (C-5 epimer of 6 a). The minor product has also been utilized for the synthesis of DAH 4 a, 5-epi-DAH 4 b, kamusol 6 a and 5-epi-kamusol 6 b through a common intermediate, alpha-methyl glycosylated product.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an obligate aerobe that is capable of long-term persistence under conditions of low oxygen tension. A series of thiazolyl-pyrazole derivatives (6a-f, 7a-f, 8c, 8e) were screened for antimycobacterial activity against dormant M. tuberculosis H37Ra (D-MTB) and M. bovis BCG (D-BCG). Nine thiazolyl- pyrazole analogs, 6c, 6e, 7a, 7b, 7c, 7e, 7f, 8c and 8e exhibited promissing minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values (0.20-28.25 mu g/mL) against D-MTB and D-BCG strains of Mtb. Importantly, six compounds (7a, 7b, 7e, 7f, 8c and 8e) exhibited excellent antimycobacterial activity and low cytotoxicity at the maximum evaluated concentration of \> 250 mu g/mL. Finally, the promising antimycobacterial activity and lower cytotoxicity profile suggested that, these compounds could be further subjected for optimization and development as a lead, which could have the potential to treat tuberculosis.
