Experimental
General
Melting points were determined using an Electrothermal IA9000 series digital capillary melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. IR spectra were obtained as KBr discs on a 1000-Perkin Elmer FT-IR spectrophotometer.
1H- and
13C-NMR spectra were recorded on a JEOL ECP-400 NMR in CDCl
3 (or DMSO-d
6) using TMS as an internal standard. Chemical shifts are given in ppm on the δ scale and coupling constants (
J) are given in Hz. Electron impact (EI) MS spectra were acquired with the aid of a Shimadzu GCMSQP5050A spectrometer, equipped with a 30 m x 0.25 mm DB-1 glass column, operating with an ionization energy of 70 eV, at the Chemistry Department, College of Science, King Saud University. Compounds

Method A: Synthesis of 2d:
A mixture of 1b (0.5 g, 2 mmol) and phenyl isothiocyanate (0.27 g, 2 mmol) was placed in a 50 mL beaker covered with a watch glass and then irradiated with microwaves (600 W) for 45 seconds. The cold reaction mixture was treated with ethanol and the solid product was filtered off and recrystallized.
Method B: Synthesis of 2a,d:
A mixture of 1a,b (2 mmol), phenylthiourea (2 mmol) and 5 drops of dry ethanol was placed in a 50 mL beaker, covered with a watch glass, and was then irradiated with microwave (800 W) for 20 seconds. The cold reaction mixture was treated with crushed ice; the solid product was filtered, dried and recrystallized.
