## Abstract

Combination of mercaptothiazoles and mercury phenyl chloride synthesized some new compounds of thiazoles. Firstly some mercaptothiazoles with different sorts have been synthesized, and then synthesized compounds were reacted with different mercury phenyl chloride structures. At last, each of these synthesized compounds was purified. Consequently, these structures were recrystallized using oil ether. Forming product through chromatogram (TLC) and combination ofRf with other compound's Rf of were identified, and their purity percent was recognized. The 1H-NMR and other methods like FT-IR and mass spectroscopy have determined all of compounds. Obtained results of synthesized compounds showed that reactions were carried out with suitable speed and high yield.

## Body

## 1. Introduction

Having had various biological and pharmaceutical activities, chemistry of heterocyclic compounds such as thiazoles has been specifically noted and spread widely.  These compounds have shown different pharmaceutical and also antibacterial and antiviral activities; therefore they are of great remedial importance [1–12]. In November 18th, 1887, molecular structure of thiazole was found and confirmed by Hantzschet al.; they proved carbon existing between sulfur and nitrogen to be of high activity. The property led them to suggest prefix “meso” for this situation. In 1889, the first thiazole derivative was obtained by Popp et al. They provided 2-amino thiazole structure by diazotation. They are present in vitamin B1 [13] too. Thiazoles are such compounds applicable as antihyperglycemic [5]. This property has caused these compounds to have abundant use in medicine and pharmaceutical industries as being used in antituberculosis medicine for instance [7]. They are also in insecticides and antivermin compounds related to agriculture. Due to having two different nitrogenous and sulfurous groups, the compounds tend to attend such different chemical reactions as alkylation, oxidation, and cycloaddition [8–15]. High reactivity of the compounds has caused in  many derivatives from them, which there are atoms of nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon being between them [16]. As a ligand in complexometric reaction is another use they have [17]. New compounds synthesis by some derivatives of phenacyl bromide, mercaptothiazole, and mercury (II) chloride is what being tried to be studied in present research. Of course it should be pointed out that these compound,s applicable and pharmaceutical properties can be studied in detail in future.

## 3. Result and Discussion

For 6 new kinds of synthetic compounds of aryl thiazolyl mercury (II) firstly, some compounds of Mercaptothiazoles were separately synthesized. After comparingRf with other Rf, other compound identified and using 1H-NMR spectrometer, IR spectrometer and finally mass spectrometer completed analyzing. For 6 synthetic compounds of thiazolyl mercury (II), the produce is shown in Figure 1.Figure 1
Synthetic route for the phenacyl bromide derivatives structure.Thiazoles family had shown that substitution of hydrogen atom by methyl group was caused to the decrease of yield and sigma electron density in carbon atom of the cycle. But there is small increasing in electron density when hydrogen atom is substituted by sulfur atom. But quality of substitution mechanisms is different in thiazoles group. For example, substitution of methyl group in thiazoles structure is done by heteroatomic and hyperconjugation models. It is done by changing of pay electron.Finally, after analyzing the process and identifying considered compounds, 13 new compounds were recognized in which 6 of them were of thiazolyl mercury (II). Total process and obtained results are shown in Table1 and Figures 2, 3, and 4.Table 1

Synthetic route for the aryl thiazolyl mercury (II) derivatives structure.The reaction of 4-methoxy-phenyl mercury (II) chloride with 2-mercaptothiazoles leads to formation of 2-(4′′-methoxy-phenyl mercury-thio-thiazoles).p-Anisidine is used as an initiator, then 4-methoxy-phenyl mercury (II) chloride is prepared with news Meyanov,s method. This was due to Diazo compound of p-anisidine and then reaction with HgCl and then reaction with copper powder; for the first reaction of 2-mercapto-4-(4′-methyl-phenyl) thiazole with 4-methoxy-phenyl mercury (II) chloride (with molar ratio of 1 : 1) in tetrahydrofuran (THF), then yellow wish crystal compound.  In the NMR proton spectrum, have recognized the existence of all of signals of thiazoles part with substituent phenyl ring signals in the forth position. All of mentioned synthesis have followed from this method. We can explain this reaction in this way: because mercury is a soft acid thus can conjugate easily with donor atoms in polarizable soft bases. Mercury ion has great tendency for bounding with sulfur and the ligands containing sulfur atom. For above reasons, because of tendency bounding between mercury and sulfur in this research, we can bound two compounds of 4-(4′-bromophenyl)-2-mercaptothiazole with p-methoxy mercury chloride molecular and p-bromomercury chloride. Then consequently with exiting HCl we can obtain this bounding. For proving this theory such methods like TLC, 1H-NMR, GC MASS, and IR are used in which all of them have recognized above claims. In this research, abundant usages of mercury in the dentistry and pharmacy and as a premier material of amalgam in dentistry that has repair usages. SCN bounds have biological and treatment properties, we have tried to investigate new ways and methods for synthesizing different thiazole derivatives. In this research, the physiological role of thiazolyl compounds has been examined and we have tried to synthesize some of its derivatives. The mechanism preparation 4-(4/-bromo-phenyl)-2-mercapto-thiazole with using p-bromoacetophenone and ammonium compounds and combination of ammonium dithiocarbamate in refluxed with ethanol and then benzene, 4-(4′-bromophenyl-2-mercaptothiazole) was obtained. For making aromatic mercerized compound aromatic aniline (type I) was used.


## 4. Conclusions

Methods of aromatic system were used to increase speed of mechanism of separating and purifying of products does not need complex process. Production of these structures of thiazolyl mercury (II) through mention mechanism and producing HCl. Practically, these compounds have higher functions than the same synthetic compounds.
