Catalyst-Free Synthesis of Highly Biologically Active 5-Arylidene Rhodanine and 2,4-Thiazolidinedione Derivatives Using Aldonitrones in Polyethylene Glycol

摘要

A green, efficient synthesis of 5-arylidene rhodanine and 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives without using any external catalyst in polyethylene glycol (PEG) at 80°C has been described. Reaction procedure is very simple, short, and obtained yields are very high.
