Synthesis of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, imidazo[2,1-b]1,3,4-thiadiazoles and thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines derived from benzimidazole as potential antimicrobial agents.

Several new 1,3,4-thiadiazole, imidazo[2,1-b]1,3,4-thiadiazole and thiadiazole[3,2-al]pyrimidine derivatives of benzimidazole were synthesized. The compounds were obtained from 1-ethyl or benzyl 2-(2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)thiomethylbenzimidazole. The antimicrobial activity of the prepared compounds was studied.
