Reaction Steps

To a solution of 21.9 parts of 2-piperidino-4-imino-2-thiazoline hydrochloride in 240 parts of methyl alcohol there was added 14.5 parts of 1,3-diiminoisoindoline. The resultant mixture was heated at reflux for six hours, then chilled to 0° C and filtered. The collected solid was washed with methyl alcohol and dried at 50° C to obtain 27 parts of 1-imino-3-(2-piperidino-4-imino-2-thiazolin-5-ylidene)isoindoline hydrochloride melting at 320°-321° C (dec). The assigned chemical structure was completely corroborated by a concordant nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum. The hydrochloride salt is readily converted to the free base, a colorless solid melting at 226°-227°C, by treatment with dilute ammonium hydroxide. This compound, which corresponds to Formula VIII wherein R, R1, R2 and R3 are each hydrogen and N=B is piperidino, was found on testing in vitro by standard serial dilution procedures to be bacteriostatic versus: Staphylococcus aureus 209 at a minimal concentration of 6.3 parts per million; Esherichia coli at 62.5 parts per million; Pseudomonas aeruginosa 211 at 125 parts per million; and fungicidal versus Tricophyton mentogrophytes at 62.5 parts per million; Aspergillus niger at > 125 parts per million; and Candida albicans at 125 parts per million.
