Scalable synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of 2-(3-(N-(substituted phenyl)sulfamoyl)ureido)benzothiazoles.

A new series of 2-(3-(N-(substituted phenyl)sulfamoyl)ureido)benzothiazoles was synthesized via a one-pot efficient and scalable method, involving the condensation of 2-aminobenzothiazoles derivatives, substituted anilines, and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate. The products were obtained in good yield with a simple workup, and their structures were confirmed from their spectral analyses. The synthesized compounds were further screened for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic strains.
