          ABSTRACT
            
          
              The presence of two 
                different chromophores in benzothiazole 
                molecule namely benzothiazole and 
                aromatic rings lead to interesting chemical and biological properties 
                that attract more researches on the compounds. Three new benzothiazolyl-benzoythiourea 
                compounds namely 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(benzoylthiourea) 
                (BBT), 
                1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(4-chlorobenzoylthiourea) (BBT-4Cl) 
                and 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-(4-methoxybenzoylthiourea) (BBT-4OCH3) 
                with different electron withdrawing substituents (R) at the para 
                positions on the benzene ring of benzoylthiourea 
                ring have been synthesized from the reaction of R-benzoyl isothiocyanate 
                (R= H, Cl, and OCH3) and 2-aminobenzothiazole. The 
                compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques (infrared, 
                1H 
                proton NMR and UV-Vis). The IR spectra 
                showed the frequency signals of n (C=O), n (C=S), 
                n (N-H) at 1664-1673, 1238-1249 and 3031-3055 cm-1, 
                respectively. The 1H proton NMR spectra 
                showed the presence of N-H amine and amide signals in the region 
                of (12.14-12.35) and (14.17-14.43) ppm, respectively. The proton 
                signals of the two benzothiazole and 
                benzoylthiourea moieties appear at 
                7.08-8.16 ppm. A theoretical study based on Density Functional 
                Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent (TD) 
                DFT 
                was conducted to optimize the geometrical structure 
                and investigate the electronic properties of title compounds. 
                The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) was found on the benzothiazole moiety; while, the lowest-unoccupied molecular 
                orbital (LUMO) was located at the benzoylthiourea fragment. The DFT optimized 
                structures possessed an intramolecular 
                hydrogen bonding and the types of para substituents used influenced 
                the properties of hydrogen bonding.
