| Abstract
An efficient, feasible, transition metal catalyst-free and environmental friendly approach for the synthesis of dithiocarbamate in an ethanol-water solvent combination at room temperature has been established. Alkyl/aryl halide, carbon disulfide and secondary amine were condensed in one pot to produce a range of dithiocarbamate derivatives. Based on the results, the yields were higher when aliphatic amine reacted with benzyl halides as compared to alkyl halides. This method has the advantage of using no hazardous solvents. Other benefits of this method include producing compounds with a good yield by a catalyst-free reaction employing a simple, affordable and useful method. When tested against specific pathogens, selected dithiocarbamate derivatives showed strong antibacterial activity but weak antifungal activity. |
