Figure 1

Scheme for the synthesis of thiazolidin-4-ones. Reagents and conditions: (a) aromatic aldehydes, (b) methanol, (c) glacial acetic acid, reflux for 15–45 minuts, (d) dry benzene/toluene, (e) thioglycolic acid, reflux for 24–48 hrs or microwave irradiation at power setting of 80% with 3 minutes/cycle for 16 minutes, and (f) thiolactic acid.
