<em>N</em>-(Benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-((5-chlorobenzoxazol-2-yl)amino)butanamide

Abstract

Benzazoles, such as benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles, are compounds with important biological and pharmacological activities and important intermediaries in synthesis. This report presents the synthesis of a butanamide derived from linking 5-chloro-2-aminobenzoxazole and 2-aminobenzothiazole via 4-chlorobutanoyl chloride. The corresponding compound N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-4-((5-chlorobenzoxazol-2-yl)aminobutanamide was obtained at a 76% global yield using accessible starting materials and a methodology in two reaction steps. Furthermore, we conducted docking studies of this compound on 3-TOP protein to explore its potential as an antidiabetic agent.
