One-pot synthesis of sulfonyl-1H-1,2,3-triazolyl-thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide derivatives and evaluation of their biological activity

A one-pot procedure for the synthesis of novel 1,2,3-triazole derivatives (5a-5l) in good yields (63 to 77%) using different sulfonic acids and 4-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide through the in situ generated sulfonyl azides was developed. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity and free radical scavenging activity in terms of hydrogen donating or radical scavenging ability by the DPPH method. Among all, the compound N-(4-((4-((1,1-dioxidothiomorpholino) methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)sulfonyl)phenyl) acetamide (5l) was found to exhibit potent activity as compared to the standard drugs.
