a series of new 2-arylimino-3-aryl-5-[5?-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2?-furylidene]-4-thiazolidinones (3a-l) have been synthesised by the condensation of 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-furaldehyde 1 with 2-arylimino-3-aryl-5h-4-thiazolidinones 2 in glacial acetic acid. the physical and spectral data of the synthesised compounds are determined. the synthesised compounds have been screened for their in vitro ...

The 4-thiazolidinones 3a-d were used as a key intermediates for the synthesis of 2-arylimino-5-arylidene-4-thiazolidinones derivatives 7a–p via nucleophilic addition reactions with the arylidene malononitrile. Moreover the 4-thiazolidinones 3a and 3c condensed with the DMF-DMA to form the corresponding enamines 8 and 9 depending on the reaction conditions. Otherwise the 4-thiazolidinone 3b reac...

Benzofurans are very interesting heterocycles, which are available in nature and show a wide range of pharmacological activities. Hence, different benzofurans having 4-thiazolidinones have been synthesized for the purpose of pharmacological evaluation. The desired compounds were prepared using simple starting materials like salicylaldehyde and ethyl bromoacetate. The reaction between these comp...

A series of novel thiazolidinones have been synthesized by reaction of various Schiff bases of coumarin with thioglycolic acid. The reaction of 4-hydroxy coumarin with POCl3 yielded 4chloro coumarin 2 and 4-chloro-3, 4', 3', 4"-tercoumarin 2a. Compound 2 was reacted with pphenylene diamine to yield 4-[(4-aminophenyl)amino]-2H-chromen-2-one.Various Schiff bases of coumarin were synthesized by co...

A new generation of chroman bearing heterocyclic five membered ring such as 1,2,4-triazoles and thiazolidinones was designed and synthesized. New chroman based nucleus 5-(6-fluorochroman-2-yl)-4-aryl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 6-fluorochroman-N-(4-oxo-2-arylthiazolidinin-3-yl) chroman-2-carboxamides were synthesized. Aryl triazole compounds 4a-4j were synthesized from 6-fluorochroman-2-carbo...

The aim of the present work was to synthesise coumarinyl heterocycles and to elucidate the potential role of these compounds as antioxidants and cytotoxic agents against Dalton's lymphoma ascites tumour cells (DLA) and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells (EAC). The synthesis of coumarin derivatives containing pyrazole, pyrazolone, thiazolidin-4-one, 5-carboxymethyl-4-thiazolidinone and 3-acetyl-1,3...

Several new 2-pyridyl-4-thiazolidinones are synthesized in an efficient manner evading using any catalyst or base. Simple workup procedure, good yields, and mild reaction conditions are the salient features of this method. All the synthesized compounds are screened for antimicrobial activity against several organisms.
