5-Ethoxymethylene-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (1) reacts with hydrazine hydrate at room temperature to afford 5-(hydrazinylmethylene)-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (3). Compound 3 condensed with different aromatic aldehydes 6a–d in ethanol in the presence of a few drops of piperidine to give the corresponding Schiff’s bases 7a–d. On the other hand, compound 3 reacts with o-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives 8a and 8b in refluxing ethanol catalyzed by a few drops of piperidine to yield 1H-inadzolyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinones 9a and 9b. Reaction of compound 3 with α-ketoesters 10a and 10b or α-diketones 10c–e in refluxing glacial acetic acid furnished the pyrazolyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone derivatives 11a–e. Also, compound 3 reacts with some different enaminones 12a–f in refluxing glacial acetic acid to afford the new pyrazolyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone derivatives 13a–f.

Palladium(0)-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of alpha-dehydro-beta-amino esters from amines and allyl acetates: synthesis of a alpha-dehydro-beta-amino acid derived cyclic peptide as a constrained beta-turn mimic

Acetates derived from the adducts of the Baylis-Hillman reaction can be reacted in a regioselective manner with amines in the presence of palladium(0) catalyst to afford alpha-dehydro-beta-amino esters (2 and 3) in good yields. The regioselectivity of the reaction can be controlled by temperature and reaction medium leading to the synthesis of regioisomers 2 or 3. The alpha-dehydro-beta-amino acid 3 is a turn inducer, and the dipeptides 6 derived from it show the presence of an eight-membered intramolecular hydrogen bond. Also, cobalt(II) chloride catalyzes the cleavage of epoxy peptides with alpha-dehydro-beta-amino acid derivative 3b to afford the corresponding dipeptide derivatives 8, which exhibit an intramolecular hydrogen bond and thus mimic a beta-turn. This intramolecular hydrogen bonding preorganizes the corresponding diallylated peptide 8c for cyclization via ring-closing metathesis to afford the cyclic peptide 9 as a constrained mimic of a beta-turn.

Reactions of Cyclic Pseudothioureas with Acetylenedicarboxylates

Treatment of aliphatic 1,2-, 1,3- or aromatic o-diamine with carbon disulfide provided the corresponding cyclic pseudothioureas (IIb-j). Heating thiourea (IIa) or these compounds with dimethyl or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (IIIa, b) in ethanol resulted a nucleophilic addition of the sulfhydryl group to the C≡C bond accompanied with a ring-closure condensation. Thus a series of alkoxycarbo-methylidene derivatives of 2-imino-4-thiazolidinone (IVa), imidazolo-, benzimidazo-and tetrahydropyrimido (2, 1-b)-3-thiazolidinones (IVb-k) was produced.

A straightforward two-step protocol for the synthesis of 2-aryl-substituted 4-thiazolidinone and 4-thiazinanone libraries has been developed. The one-pot, three-component reactions of fluorous benzaldehydes with amines and mercaptoacetic acid or mecaptopropanoic acid produce the heterocyclic systems. Intermediates purified by fluorous solid-phase extraction are subject to microwave-assisted palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions to simultaneously cleave the fluorous tag and introduce the biaryl and thioaryl functional groups to the 2-position of 4-thiazolidinones and 4-thiazinanones.

Green route synthesis of 4-thiazolidinone analogs of isonicotinic acid hydrazide

Abstract

The broad and potent activity of 4-thiazolidinones has established it as one of the biologically important scaffolds. The synthesis of N-(2-aryl-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl)isonicotinamide by a novel method of stirring and sonication is described. The conventional method for synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones involves use of a Dean-Stark water separator for the removal of water from the reaction with long reaction times (12–48 h), and the stirring procedure also involves the use of DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) as a dehydrating agent. We report the synthesis of 4-thiazolidinone analogs of isonicotinic acid hydrazide by novel, green route methods of sonication and stirring using molecular sieves. Results indicate that high yields and shorter reaction times can be achieved by employing novel green route methods of synthesis.

The reaction of calix[4]arene or p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene with bromoacetonitrile or bromobutyronitrile afforded di-, tri-, and tetranitrile calixarene derivatives (3-8, 3a), which were then reduced into the corresponding amine (9-13, 3b).
