Fig. 2From: Synthesis, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Thiazole-based Schiff base derivatives: a combined experimental and computational studyThe plausible reaction mechanism of compounds 3 and 7 calculated using B3LYP-GD3/6-311+ +G(d,p)/Methanol. At the start of the reaction, it proceeds via an SN2 reaction mechanism followed by the formation of first transition state (TS1). The second (TS2) and third (TS3) transition states follow nucleophilic reactionsBack to article page
