Synthesis of Novel 2-Iminothiazolidin-4-ones

Abstract

Thiazolidin-4-ones are known to exhibit diverse biological activities such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiarrheal, anticonvulsant, antidiabetic, antihistaminic, and antifungal activities. In the present investigation, a series of 2-haloacetamides was prepared by reacting chloroacetyl chloride with amines in dry benzene under reflux conditions. The formed 2-haloacetamides reacted with potassium thiocyanate in refluxing dry acetone to afford new 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones. The 5-arylidene-2-imino-3 (napthalen-2yl)-thiazolidin-4-ones were prepared by condensing 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones with substituted benzaldehydes. All the products were characterized by infrared, mass, and ¹H and ¹³C NMR techniques.

Using this convergent procedure, we prepared an analogue of the drug epalrestat, an aldose reductase inhibitory rhodanine.     

DMAP-promoted cascade C–S/C–N bonds formation approach to 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones via annulation of β-ketothioamides with α-halocarboxylic acids at room temperature

An operationally simple and efficient one-pot straightforward method for the construction of 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones has been developed by cyclocondensation of β-ketothioamides and an in situ generated acid anhydride from α-halocarboxylic acid in the presence of DCC at room temperature. The attractive features of this strategy include metal-free mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, and efficacy of forming consecutive C–S and C–N bonds and one ring in a single synthetic operation. Noteworthy, a Z-stereochemistry was observed for the exocyclic α-oxoketene moiety at 2-position of 1,3-thiazolidine ring.

Synthesis and Reaction of 2-Mercapto-3-Arylpropanoic Acids

Abstract

Two synthetic pathways for the preparation of 2-mercapto-3-arylpropanoic acids were developed. First, by the reaction of arenediazonium bromides with acrylic esters in the presence of CuBr, alkyl (2-bromo-3-aryl)propanoates were formed. Their cyclization with thiourea produced 5-(R-benzyl)-2-imino-4-thiazolidinones, which yielded 3-aryl-2-mercaptopropanoic acids by alkaline hydrolysis. Second, direct Meerwein arylation of acrylates in the presence of S-nucleophile (NaSH) allowed isolation of 3-phenyl-2-mercaptopropanoic acid in 8% yield. Such acids were used for cyclization with cyanoguanidine and phenyl isothiocyanate yielding 1-[5-(R-benzyl)-4-oxo-1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene]guanidines and new 5-(R-benzyl)-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (rhodanine) derivatives correspondingly.     

Hetero-Diels–Alder reactions of perfluoroalkyl thioamides with electron-rich 1,3-dienes: synthesis of new 2-aminosubstituted-3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyrans and related compounds

Hetero-Diels–Alder reactions of perfluoroalkyl thioamides with electron-rich 1,3-dienes such as 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, isoprene or penta-1,3-diene gave a simple and efficient access to new 2-aminosubstituted-3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyrans. Three different procedures were used depending on the nature of the polyfluoroalkyl chains (R_F=CF₃, (CF₂)_nCF₃, (CF₂)₄H) and on the nitrogen substituents of the thioamides (R¹, R²=H, p-Tol, morpholino, Ac). Moreover, cycloadditions of silyloxydienes (1- or 2-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene and Danishefsky's diene) with N-acyl,N-tolyl trifluoromethylthioamides afforded in almost all cases the corresponding 3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyrans or 3-oxo-tetrahydrothiopyrans. For non-symmetrical 1,3-dienes, the regio- and stereochemistry of the reactions were studied (especially using X-ray diffraction analysis) indicating a strong similarity with those reported for fluorinated thiocarboxyl derivatives. Finally, two silylated 3,6-dihydro-2H-thiopyrans underwent an unexpected base-induced ring contraction to give new 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones.
