The synthesis of hydrazides (BDTC1–BDTC7) was accomplished from hydrazinylthiazole esters via commercially available solvents and reagents. The solvents and reagents were purchased from internationally well-reputed chemical suppliers; glacial acetic acid, thiosemicarbazide, 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 2-chlorobenzaldehyde, 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (Sigma Aldrich, USA), methanol, absolute ethanol, ethyl bromopyruvate, 3-chlorobenzaldehyde, 2-bromobenzaldehyde, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (Merck, Germany), n-hexane, acetone, ethyl acetate (Riedel-de-Haen) and hydrazine monohydrate (Dae Jung, Korea).
The synthesis was initially determined by monitoring different physical parameters, like color change, melting point (MP), and retardation factor (Rf). Different spectro-analytical methods like Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and 1H- and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies were used for structural confirmation. The purity and progress of the reaction product were monitored using TLC with silica gel 60 HF-254 pre-coated aluminum sheets (Merck, Germany). The approximate MP was determined with DMP-300 (A&E Lab, UK) apparatus. The absorptions in the IR spectra were used to determine functional groups and were recorded on a FT-IR spectrophotometer using attenuated total reflectance (ATR). 1H and 13C NMR data were recorded using Bruker Advance 300 MHz and Varian VNMRS 400 MHz spectrometers. A Bruker Micro TOF-ESI system was used to obtain the mass spectrometry data.
