Betaines of bicyclic imidazo-thiazoles were synthesized by the reaction of clectrophiles such as methyl isocyanate, methyl isothiocyanate, allyl isothiocyanate and ketene with 3-methyl and 3-phenyl-5, 6-dihydroimidazo [2,1-b] thiazole. In this reaction, the methyl group which was substituted at 3-position increased the yields of the products in comparison with those from phenyl group substituted substrates. Also, the betaines reacted with methyl iodide to give imidazo-thiazolium salts which were unstable at high temperature and converted the quaternary ammonium salts of original biheterocycles.

Synthesis of a new series of pyrimidinyl-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives is described. Their antiproliferative activity against A375 human melanoma cell line was tested and the effect of substituents on the pyrimidinyl ring side chain was investigated. The biological results indicated that most of the newly synthesized compounds showed moderate activity against A375, compared with Sorafenib. Among all of these derivatives, the cyclic sulfamide derivatives IIIa, IIIb, and IIIe showed the most potent antiproliferative activity against A375 human melanoma cell line. The IC50 values of compounds IIIa,b were in nanomolar scale. In addition, compound IIIe ($IC_{50}=1.9\;{\mu}M$) also demonstrated more potent antiproliferative activity compared with Sorafenib ($IC_{50}=5.6\;{\mu}M$).

A series of new 6-aryl-3-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-2-phenylsulfanyl-imidazo[2,1-b]-thiazole (5a-c) and 6-aryl-2-benzenesulfonyl-3-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)imidazo[2,1-b]- thiazole (6a-c) have been prepared and characterized by analytical and spectral methods. The title compounds 5a-c and 6a-c were obtained by the reaction of 4-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-5-phenylsulfanyl-thiazol-2-ylamine (3) and 5-benzenesulfonyl-4-(3,4-dimethoxy -phenyl)thiazol-2-ylamine (4) with various phenacyl bromides in anhydrous ethanol. These newly synthesized compounds (5a-c and 6a-c) were screened for their anthelmintic and anti-inflammatory activities, where they have displayed better activities.

For the development of new antiulcer agents 5, 6-dihydroimidazo[2, 1-b]- thiazoles substituted at the 3-position are sythesized. Thus, the reaction of 3-chloromethyl-5, 6-dihydroimidazo[2, 1-b]thiazole(2) with thiourea and subsequently with 3-chloro-propionitrile gives 3-[3-[5, 6-dihydroimidazo[2, 1-b]thiazolyl]methylthio]propionitrile(4), which by partial alcoholysis with methanol is converted into methyl-3-[3-[5, 6-dihydro-imidazo[2, 1-b]thiazoyl]methylthio]propionimidate(5) . This compound(5) is treated finally with sulfamide or sulfonamides. 3-[3-[5, 6-dihydroimidazo[2, 1-b]thiazoyl]methylthiol-N$^{2}$-sulfamoyl-propionamidine(6) inhibited gastric acid secretion (45%) when administered intraduodenally (100 mg/kg) to pylorus-ligated rats.

7-Dithiocarboxy-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydro imidazo[2,1-b]thiazolium-betaine (2) was prepared by treatment of 3-phenyl-5,6-dihydro imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole (1) with carbon disulfide in acetone at room temperature. On the reaction of 2 with para-substituted phenacyl bromides (4) having the electron withdrawing property by virtue of (+) resonance (R) < (-) inductive (I) or (-) resonance (R), (-) inductive (I) effect, ring transformation product p-substituted-2-[2-[7-(p-substituted benzoyl)-5-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-c] thiazol-1-yl]-2-phenylvinylthio] acetophenone (6) was obtained; however, when R is electron donating grops with (+) resonance (R) > (-) inductive (I) effect the quarternary ammonium salt 7-(p-substituted phenyl) carbonyl methyl-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydro imidazo [2,1-b] thiazolium bromide (8) is formed. The reaction of 2 with unsubstituted-phenacyl bromide (R = H), on the other hand, gives 6a and 8a to the similar ratio, respectively.

Acid and base catalyzed intramolecular cyclizations of N-benzoylthioureidoacetal, contain-ing four functional groups adjacent to thiourea such as benzocarbamoyl, acetal, thioure and amide, were investigated. The condensation reaction of N-benzoyl thiocarbamoylgly-cine amide in the presence of 10% aqueous NaOH provided 1-(2,2-dimethoxy)ethyl-imi- dazolidine-2-thione exclusively. In the presence of pyridine, it was transformed to 2- thiohydantoin. N-Benzoyl thiocarbamoyl glycine amide was completely transformed to an iminothiazolidine exclusively in the presence of Lewis acid such as borontrifluoride ether-ate or trimethylsilyl iodide. 1-(2,2-Dimethoxy)ethyl-imidazolidine-2-thione was transformed to imidazole[2,1-b]thiazole and pyrazino[5,1-a]imidazole in the presence of $BF_3$.$ET_2$O and formic acid, respectively.

4, 5-Diphenyl-2-mercaptiomidazole (I) was reacted with hydraziodyl halides IIa-d togive the S-alkyl derivatives III-a-d. Cyclization of IIIa-d afforded imidazo[2, 1-b]-thiazole derivatives Vla, b and VII. Treatment of 1 with a-chloroethylacetoaccetate (IV) gave ethyl 2(4, 5-diphenyl-2-imidazolinylthio)-3-keto-butyrate (V). Compound V coupled with benzendiazonium chloride to give the corresponding phenylhydrazo compound IIId. On heating V with polyphosphoric acid, cyclization took place and 2-acetyl-5, 6-diphenyl-imidazo [2, 1-b] thiazol-3-one (VIII) was obtained. The compound VIII was condensed with aromatic aldehydes to yield the cinnamoyl derivatives 1Xa, b. The antimicrobial activities of compounds IIIa-d, V, VIa, VII were examined.
