CATALYTICAL AND ANTICANCER STUDIES OF COMPLEXES OF 2-[(5-METHOXY-1H-BENZIMIDAZOL-2-YL)SULFONYL]-N-PHENYLACETAMIDE WITH ALKALINE EARTH METAL IONS.

Many important biochemical compounds and drugs of natural origin contain heterocyclic ring structures. Among carbohydrates, essential amino acids, vitamins, alkaloids, glycosides etc. the presence of heterocyclic structures in such diverse types of compounds strongly indicates that these compounds possess different types of the pharmacological activity. The present work has been done in the search of some potential biochemically active derivatives of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole for medicinal as well as nutritional purposes. Currently used compounds which upon substitution at either functional group or linked with heterocyclic rings or molecules with metal ions, many times, capable of performing better. Synthesis of newer molecules is usually carried out by new linkage through functional groups present in molecules. After the synthetic procedure, the newer molecules require spectroscopic characterization in order to ascertain their structure. In the present work ,2-mercapto 5- methoxy benzimidazolmolecule has been linked with N-(4-acetylphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide heterocycles and instrumental methods like C,H,N,S Analyzer , FT IR spectroscopy, MASS spectrometry, UV spectroscopy etc. have been used for structure elucidation and their important biological activities and also catalytic properties have been studied.
