The synthesis, characterization and antibacterial studies of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors and their resp. Ag(I)-NHC complexes are reported. Five nonsym. benzimidazolium bromide salts were synthesized through the addition of N-alkylbenzimidazole and various alkylbromides. These n-butyl-n’-alkylbenzimidazolium bromide salts (alkyl = Me, Et, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl) , and – were further used as precursors to synthesize Ag(I)-NHC complexes, , and -, resp., via in situ deprotonation. Was synthesized from its reported precursor salt, 1-benzyl-3-butylbenzimidazolium bromide () through the same procedure. Complex is present as monomeric cation as [NHC-Ag-NHC]PF6, as illustrated by single crystal x-ray crystallog. analyses. In order for a full series of antibacterial studies, 1-butyl-3-propylbenzimidazolium bromide, , and resp. complex, , were synthesized according to the reported procedure. All benzimidazolium salts (-) and Ag(I)-NHC complexes (-) were evaluated for antibacterial activities. All benzimidazolium salts show no antibacterial activities while all Ag(I)-NHC complexes show lower activities against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 12600) compared to the standard antibiotic drug Amoxicillin. Nevertheless, these mononuclear Ag(I)-NHC complexes show lower antibacterial activities compared to the reported dinuclear Ag(I)-NHC complexes with the same substituents in the ligands. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Methylbenzimidazole (cas: 1632-83-3SDS of cas: 1632-83-3).
1-Methylbenzimidazole (cas: 1632-83-3) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Imidazole is the basic core of some natural products such as histidine, purine, histamine and DNA based structures, etc. Among the different heterocyclic compounds, imidazole is better known due to its broad range of chemical and biological properties. This ring system is present in important biological building blocks, such as histidine and the related hormone histamine.SDS of cas: 1632-83-3
