Synthesis of Imidazole Derivatives Containing Biologically Active Units

Reaction of oxazolin-5-ones 1 with p-amino-diphenylamine was resulted in the formation of the corresponding imidazoline-5-ones 2 which on treatment with sulphur afforded phenothizaines 3. Acridine derivatives 5 were obtained from acetylaminodiphenyl amines derivatives 6 on heating with AnCl$_2$ at $200^{\circ}C.$3 reacted with chloroacetyl chloride to give 7 which reacted in turn with different amines to give 8. Antibacterial activity of the obtained products was studied.
