Abstract

A series of some novel 4-(N-substituted amino)-acetanilide scaffolds was synthesized through the nucleophilic substitution reactions of the highly versatile N-(4-acetamidophenyl)-2-chloroacetamide (3) with various types of nucleophilic reagents such as benzothiazole-2-thiol, ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate, 4,6-dimethyl-2-mercapto-nicotinonitrile, various thiocarbamoyl derivatives, ammonium thiocyanate, 3-cyano-4,6-dimethyl-5-arylazopyridin-2-ones, and malononitrile. The synthesized 4-(N-substituted amino) acetanilide scaffolds were characterized by spectral analyses and assayed in vitro for breast anticancer activity. 2-(4-Acetamidophenylaminocarbonyl)-3-amino-thiophenes 11, 13a, and 13b showed the highest cytotoxic activity.
