The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant strains of the human pathological bacteria are generating a threat to public health worldwide. In the current study, a series of PC190723 derivatives was synthesized and investigated for their antimicrobial activity. The compounds exhibited good activity against several Gram-positive bacteria as determined by comparison of diameters of the zone of inhibition of test compounds and standard antibiotics. Compound 9 with a fluorine substitution on the phenyl ring showed the best antibacterial activity in the series against M. smegmatis with the zone ratio of 0.62, and against S. aureus with the zone ratio of 0.44. The results from this study indicate that based on the unique 3-methoxybenzamide pharmacophore, compound 9 may represent a promising lead candidate against Gram-positive bacteria that are worthy of further investigation

1,3-Thiazolidines react with carbon monoxide, in the presence of catalytic quantities of chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) dimer and potassium iodide, to give thiazolidinones in 56-88% yields. Reaction in the absence of KI afforded the six-membered ring thiazin-3-one. The rhodium(I) complex can catalyze the quantitative conversion of the thiazin-3-one to the thiazolidinone under carbon monoxide, with ketene as the reaction by-product. The conversion of thiazolidines to thiazolidinones involves a novel regiospecific insertion of carbon monoxide into one of two ring carbon-nitrogen bonds, as well as a metal-catalyzed ketene elimination process.
