An Efficient and Facile Synthesis of Zn(II) Complexes with 2-Substituted Benzothiazoles and Glycineand Alanine-Based Ligands Having Antifungal and Antibacterial Activities

Abstract

We carried out an efficient and facile synthesis of Zn(II) complexes with heterocyclic ligands based on 2-substituted benzothiazole moieties, 2-(20-hydroxynaphthyl) benzothiazole, 2-(20-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole, and 2-(20-merceptophenyl) benzothiazole, and amino acids, glycine and alanine, are reported and also examined for antifungal and antibacterial activities. Ligands and complexes were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis.
