The 2-amino-4-arylthiazole motif is an important structural clement in a variety of bioactive molecules. The (4+1) thiazole construction strategy adopted involves the synthesis of the [C-N-C-S) precursors, namely 1-aryi-3-(N-phenylbenzimidoyl) thiourea or 1- alkyl-3-(N-phcnylhcnzimidoyl) thiourea and the preparation of the C5 synthone, the halo acetylhetaroyl derivative. The optimized reaction conditions developed have thus lead to the preparation of live 2-(N-arylamino)-5-(indol-3-oyl)-4-phenylthiazofes and three 2 (N,N dialkylmnino)-5-(indol-3-oyl)-4-phcnylthiawles. The structure of these new compounds were assigned on the basis of elemental analysis, FTIR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR and screened for their antimicrobial activity.
