Abstract: Four complexes obtained from 2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazide [keto- (ATAH) and enol- (ATA) forms), salicylaldehyde- 2- amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone (ATASH) and acetone -2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone (ATAAH) each complexed with copper(II) sulphates have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, conductance, infrared and electronic spectral studies. The ligands and complexes were screened for antimicrobial activity and the compounds were relatively inactive against the organism tested. The electronic data indicate a square planar coordination for the all the complexes synthesized. The IR spectra data are diagnostic of bidentate coordination via the carbonyl oxygen and the azomethine, the SO42- anions are in their inner coordination spheres. The conductivity analyses indicate a non-electrolytic nature for the chelates.

Introduction

The increasing clinical importance of drug-resistant mycobacterial pathogens has lent additional urgency to microbiological research and new antimycobacterial compound development. Much attention is given to hydrazones and some other hydrazine derivatives because of their biological and physiological activities [J.N. Nwabueze (1997),
Complexes of Copper (II) with Acetone hydrazones derived from some cyclocarboxylic acids, Synth. React.Inorg. Met.-Org. Chem. 27,
673.] They generally exhibit very strong antibacterial activity. This antibacterial activity is enhanced on complexation to some transition metal ions[Bontchev et al; 1981]. 4-isopropylthiazole-2- carbohydrazide is known to be a novel class of potential antibacterial, antifungal and antitubercular agents [B. P. Mallikarjuna et al, 2008, 2009]. Also of interest is the coordination mode of hydrazones. This is due to the fact that other ligating sites may be present in addition to the carbonyl O and the
azomethine N depending on the nature of R and R1
in RCONHNCR 1 2 . Hydrazones derived from 6-
amino-5-formyl-1, 3-dimethyl uracil and nicotinic and isonicotinic acid hydrazides formed four – coordinate complexes with Cu2+ which are monomeric with three binding sites occupied by the dinegative tridentates ligand and the fourth position by water. The donor atoms are the deprotonated N of the 6- amino group, the azomethine N and the carbonyl O of the hydrazone moity. Neither the
carbonyl O atoms of the uracil ring nor the endocyclic N atom of the pyridine are involved in the coordination to the metals[Enedoh and Nwabueze; 2011, Fransisco et al; 2000]
This work aims at synthesizing for the first time complexes of the title metal with 2-amino-4- thiazoleacetic acid hydrazide(ATAH &ATA), salicylaldehyde-2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone (ATASH) and acetone -2-amino-4- thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone (ATAAH) for

Ethyl-2-amino-4-thiazoleacetate, acetone and salicylaldehyde were obtained from Sigma –
Aldrich Chemical Company Ltd, while the copper(II) sulphates and acetates were obtained
from BDH Chemical Ltd England. All were used without further purification

Preparation of 2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazide (ATAH)

2- amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazide was
prepared from 1mole of ethyl-2-amino-4- thiazoleacetate and 1 mole of the hydrazine hydrate using standard methodas in literature [Nwabuezeto ;
1992].
25.00ml (0.40moles) of hydrazine hydrate was added to 70g (0.40moles) of ethyl-2-amino-4- thiazoleacetate in 300mls of absolute ethanol. It was refluxed on a water bath for 6 hours. The solution was left to crystallize for 3 days. The light brown crystals obtained were filtered , recrystallized from ethanol, filtered and dried over silica gel in a desiccators. (yield , 46.1g; 65.86%)

Preparation of Salicylaldehyde-2-amino-4- thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone (ATASH)

8.6g, (0.05 mole) of 2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid
hydrazide (ATAH) was mixed with 5.3ml( 6.01g,(
0.0.05 moles) of salicylaldehyde in 130ml ethanol
and refluxed for 4 hours in a 250ml round bottom flask on water bath. The solution was left for 24 hours to crystallize. The yellow crystals obtained were filtered and were recrystallized from ethanol.s They were then dried in a desiccator over silica gel.( Yield,9.7g; 80.78%).

Preparation of Acetone-2-amino-4- thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone (ATAAH)

8.6g, (0.05 mole) of 2-amino-4- thiazoleacetic acid hydrazide (ATAH)
was mixed with 3ml (0.05 moles]) of acetone in 120ml ethanol and refluxed for
4 hours in a 250ml round bottom flask on water bath. The solution was left for 7days
to crystallize. The milky crystals obtained were filtered and were recrystallized from
ethanol.s They were then dried in a desiccator over silica gel.( Yield,6.1g;
40%).

Preparation of the complexes

The complexes were prepared by the
reaction between aqueous solutions of the metal salts and ethanolic solutions of the ligand in a 1,2 molar ratio

The preparation of the Cu-ATAH

complexes

0.86 gram (0.005mole) of 2-amino-4- thiazoleacetic acid hydrazide(ATAH) was
dissolved in 10ml of ethanol and slightly warmed, while 0.61g (0.0025 moles) of
CuSO4 .5H2 O was dissolved in 10ml of water. The ligand was then added gently while stirring continuously into the copper(II) solution and a light brown coloured crystals were formed. The crystals were filtered and dried over silica gel in a desiccator for 2 days. (Yield, 1.1g;
43%).

The preparation of the Cu-ATASH

complexes

1.22 gram (0.005mole) of salicylaldehyde-
2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone was dissolved in 10ml of ethanol and slightly warmed, while 0.61g (0.0025moles) of CuSO4.5H2 O was dissolved in 10ml of water. The ligand was then added gently while stirring continuously into the copper(II) solution and a brown coloured crystals were formed. The crystals were filtered and dried over silica gel in a desiccator for 2 days. (Yield, 1.3g; 60%).

The preparation of the Cu-ATAAH

complexes

0.985gram (0.005mole) of acetone-2- amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazone
was dissolved in 10ml of ethanol and slightly warmed, while 0.61g (0.0025
moles) of CuSO4 .5H2 O was dissolved in
10ml of water. The ligand was then added
gently while stirring continuously into the copper(II) solution and a coffee brown coloured crystals were formed. The

crystals were filtered and dried over silica gel in a desiccator for 2 days. (Yield,
1.15g; 61%).

The preparation of enolhydrazide, Cu- ATA

This was obtained by adding a little quantity of sodium ethoxide into the
mixture of copper (II) sulphate and 2- amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid hydrazide
during the complexation

Elemental Analysis [Jeffrey et al;

1979]

Using EDTA the percentage of metals in
the complexes were determined complexometrically while that of sulphur was gravimetrically determined as sulphate by precipitation using BaCl2.

Instrumental Measurement

IR spectra in nujol were taken using 8400S Fourier Transform Infrared
Spectrophotometer.Electronic absorption spectra of the ligand and complexes were
done in ethanol solution using Spectronic
21D Milton Roy UV – VIS
SpectrophotometeR. The conductivity measurement in EtOH of the complexes were made using the pH/ conductivity meter, JENWAY 430.
different solutions of the ligand and complexes(0.005g/ml ethanol).Drying and sterilization in the oven at a temperature of
37oC for 24 hours followed. The Petri-
dishes containing already gelled nutrient agar were innoculated with the micro- organisms. These Petri-dishes were impregnated with the disks containing the solutions of the ligands and the complexes differently and separately. They were arranged radially from the centre of the dishes and incubation was done for 24 hours. This was done in duplicate . Antibacterial activity was measured as zone diameter of inhibition around the disk.

Result and discussion

The chemical equation below represents the preparation of the thiozolehydrazone
from the thiozolehydrazide

Assignment of band above 3000cm-1 are only tentative since band due to the symmetric vibrations of OH, NH and NH2 groups appear in this region as unresolved

[Jeffery et al; 1979]. Bands around 3400cm-1 in the

spectra of the hydrated complexes are assigned to υ(OH) of water of crystallization [Ikekwere et al; 1989]. The υ(C=O) band located in the spectrum of the ligand at

Antimicrobial screening of the ligands, the copper salts and the complexes in aqueous methanol was carried out using nutrient Agar. In-vitro susceptibility testing of the chemicals were carried out on four types of micro-organisms viz staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, streptococcus, klebsialla aero genes. Disks were sterilized in the oven at a temperature of
60oC for one hour and allowed to cool and
then they were coated accordingly with the

The υ(C=N) group is also affected because the azomethine N is used for ligation [Ikekwere et al; 1989, Nwabueze 1999]. Uncoordinated sulphate group has infrared active vibration located around 1120cm-1. Whenever this anion coordinated, it lowers its Td symmetry and split this band. As the sulphate band is split in all the relevant complexes, it indicates that the anion is in the inner coordination sphere.
