Recent discoveries of non-classical β-lactam antibiotics such as nocardicines, monobactams and thienamycin have stimulated much interest. Besides this, the unique feature of these strained molecules is that these heterocycles are becoming powerful building blocks for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds. During the present work, azetidinone and thiazolidinone derivatives of 3-chloro, 4-fluoro aniline and 4-chloro aniline were prepared. The synthesis was further extended for deriving arylidene derivatives from the thiazolidinones.
