2, 3-Bis(5-alkyl-2-thiono-1, 3, 5-thiadiazin-3-yl) propionic acid: one-pot domino synthesis and antimicrobial activity.

In a search for promising antibacterial and antifungal compounds, two new series of 2, 3-bis(5-alkyl-2-thiono-1, 3, 5-thiadiazin-3-yl)propionic acid 1 and their corresponding N, N-dimethylpropionamide 6 have been synthesized. The reaction of 2, 3-diaminopropionate 3, carbon disulfide, formaldehyde, and the appropriate alkyl amines furnished the title compound 1. N, N-dimethylpropionamides 6 were obtained by the reaction of 1 with dimethyl amine in the presence of POCl(3).
