Abstract

Reaction of 3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-methylpyrrole-5-carboxaldehyde with substituted thiosemicarbazides afforded the corresponding (thiocarbamoyl) hydrazones. The latter compounds underwent cyclization to thiazole, thiazolidinone, thiazinone and thiadizole derivatives under the proper reaction condition. All the prepared compounds were evaluated for this antimicrobial activity.
