Compounds containing the 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione scaffold are gaining increasing scientific interest as potential interventional agents for a variety of disease states. A four-step synthesis of ethyl-(2-(5-arylidine-2,4dioxothiazolidin-3-yl)acetyl)glycinates, alaninates, butanoates, valinates and norvalinates is described. The synthesis began by converting 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione into its potassium salt, which was treated with ethyl (2-chloroacetamido)glycinates, alaninates, butanoates, valinates and norvalinates, respectively, to obtain the penultimate products. These products were then subjected to a Knoevenagel condensation reaction with different aldehydes to obtain the desired products in low to excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
