INTRODUCTION
Azetidinones, also known as β-lactams occupy a central place among medicinally important moeties due to their diverse and intense antibiotic properties. The β-lactam ring is a part of the core structure of several antibiotic families, the principal one being the well-known penicillins, cephaloporins, carbapenems and monobactams, which are, therefore also called β-lactam antibiotics.1
The antibiotic activity of azetidinone ring-containing compounds and also their effectiveness in cholesterol absorption, enzyme inhibitions and their applications as synthons for various biologically important compounds made them appealing targets for the chemists. 2-Azetidinone scaffold possesses a wide range of promising biological activities. These compounds found to be usefull in the treatment of variety of diseases and disorders like atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, allergic and inflammatory condition, autoimmune disease, asthma, arterial thrombosis, rheumatoid arthritis, pneumonitis, retinitis, oesophagitis, colitis, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer.2−5 Future investigations of this scaffold could provide some more lead compounds to develop active drugs for various diseases.
On the other hand, thiazole and its derivatives have been molecules of interest being associated with wide spectrum biological and pharmacological activities, like antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antimalarial, anticancer, antiallergic, gene-modulating activities, antischizophrenia, antihypertension, anti-inflammation, anti-HIV infections and many more.6,7
In recent times, the novel concept of generating hybrid molecules by combining two differently active pharmacophore into single unit is becoming an effective strategy in drug devlopment. Prompted by this strategy of drug development, we have prepared new molecular hybrids by combining thiazoles with azetidinones to have new thiazolyl azetidinone derivatives expecting an improved pharmacological activities.
Since the development of penicillin, various compounds have been studied and variety of synthetic methods have been developed for their preparation. Staudinger’s ketene imine reaction is the most common method for the synthesis of monocyclic 2-azetidinone. Numerous monocyclic β-lactams have been prepared by the reaction of acid chloride and imine in the presence of a tertiary amine or a diazoketone as ketene precursor.8−11 A detailed review article on recent progress in the synthesis and chemistry of azetidinone has been reported.12 In view of these fascinating studies and in continuation of our work on nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles, we have synthesized some novel thiazolyl-azetidinone derivatives from imines of hydrazinyl-thiazoles using chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of triethyl amine, which can be considered as a new lead for the development of potent pharmaceutical compounds.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3-Chloro-4-[(4-fluorobenzylidene)-1-{4-(substituted-phenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2yl} amino] azetidin-2-ones 4(a-i) were synthesized in three different steps. Thiosemicarbazide on reacting with various aromatic aldehydes 1(a-i) using methanol as solvent, yielded thiosemicarbazone derivatives 2(a-i). The reaction proceeded well with methanol than in ethanol as solvent. The IR spectra of the compounds 2(a-i) displayed absorption between 1592-1604 cm−1 for (C=N). The proton NMR spectra showed characteristic peak at δ 8.2 for CH=N proton and peaks at 7.79 and 11.4 for NH2 and NH protons respectively. This clearly indicated the formation of thiosemicarbazones. The compounds 2(a-i) on reaction with 4-fluoro phenacyl bromide gave compound 3(a-i). IR spectra of the compounds 3(a-i) showed absorption in the region of 2879-2891 cm−1 for C-H of thiazole, which confirmed the formation of thiazole ring. The 1H NMR spectra of 3(a-i) displayed a signal at δ 7.05-7.21 for C=C-H proton of thiazole. The compound 3(a-i) on further reaction with chloroacetyl chloride in the presence of Et3N there was a formation of compounds 4(a-i). In the IR spectra of compounds 4(a-i) carbonyl group of β-lactam ring showed characteristic absorption in the range of 1725-1746 cm−1 and 1H NMR spectra of compounds 4(a-i) showed two doublet signals for (N-CH) and (CH-Cl) in the range δ 5.09-5.23 and 4.16-4.31, respectively. The doublet of C-H proton of azetidinone rings were observed to have coupling constant 1.3-1.8 Hz which is characteristic feature for trans-configuration in beta-lactum ring. Spectral characterisation of the compounds shown all the characterisitic data corresponding to various functional groups and thus confirmed the formation of thiazolyl azitidinone derivatives.
