Structure,Antibacterial Activity and Theoretical Study of the Forming Mechanism of Compound [(5-Methyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-thiophen-2-yl-methylene] Thiosemicarbazide

A new thiosemicarbazone compound derived from 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(2-thenoyl) pyrazolone-5(HPMTP) and thiosemicarbazide has been synthesized and characterized by IR, HNMR, MS, elemental analysis, UV and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic system, Cc space group with a = 7.5925(8), b = 20.263(2), c = 11.4669(13) ,  = 107.825(8)°, V = 1679.5(3) 3, Z = 4, R = 0.0316 and wR = 0.0687. The results of antibacterial activity test against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis indicate that the compound possesses the same antibacterial activity as the contrast(Norfloxacin). Theoretical study of the forming mechanism to the title compound at the RHF/6-31G(d) level shows that there are two steps. The distal amino group of thiosemicarbazide is added to the 4-carbonyl group of HPMTP which forms TM. Then a dehydration reaction occurs in TM and generates a stable product PC.
