Synthesis and Characterization of New Thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives

The synthesis of some new functionalized thiazolidin-4-one derivatives has been described. The N-substituted-thiosemicarbazides 3a-3i were obtained though the reaction of alkylamines 2a–2i , carbon disulfide, and hydrazine hydrate. The condensation reaction between 3a–3i and 4-amino-2-methanesulfanylpyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde 1 afforded the thiosemicarbazones 4a–4i . The corresponding thiazolidin-4-ones 5a–5i were prepared by cyclization of 4a–4i with ethyl bromoacetate. The structures of the final products were confirmed by IR, ¹ H NMR, ¹³ C NMR, and HRMS.
