The title compounds were obtained by acylation of 5-amino-1-aryl-4-(2-benzothiazolyl)-2,3-dihydro-2-pyrrolones
with 3-fold excess of acid chlorides. Starting pyrrolones were prepared in
high yields by alkylation of 2-benzothiazoleacetonitrile with chloroacetic
acid anilides. An X-ray crystallographic study of 1-benzoyl-3,5-diphenyl-3H-pyrrolo[2′,3′:4,5]pyrimido[6,1-b]benzothiazole-6-ium-2-olate
was carried out to confirm the structure of title compounds unambiguously.
The charge distribution in the obtained betaines was discussed.
