Thirteen 3-substituted benzothiazolone derivatives have been synthesized. T
heir chemical structures have been elucidated by IR and NMR spectral data a
nd by elemental analyses. Among these compounds, 1-{3-[2(3H)-benzothiazolon
-3-yl]propanoyl}morpholine (5b); 1-{3-[2(3H)-benzothiazolon-3-yl]propanoyl}
-4-benzylpiperidine (5c); 1-{3-[2(3H)-benzothiazolon-3-yl]propanoyl}-4-phen
ylpiperazine (5d); 3-[3-(4-benzylpiperidine-1-yl)propyl]-2(3H)-benzothiazol
one (Sk); 3-[3-(4-benzylpiperazine-1-yl)propyl]-2(3H)-benzothiazolone (5I);
3-[3-(4-phenylpiperazine-1-yl)propyl]-2(3H)-benzothiazolone (5m) have been
found to be significantly more active than the others. (C) 1999 Elsevier S
