Abstract: | An efficient one‐pot three‐component cyclocondensation of 4‐(p‐toulyl sulfonoxy) benzaldehyde, aryl amines, and mercaptoacetic acid in polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG‐400) was conducted to obtain new 2,3‐disubstituted‐4‐thiazolidinones. This route is economical and ecofriendly. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 23:166–170, 2012; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com . DOI 10.1002/hc.20766 |
