Source of materialTo as olution of 3-allyl-2-(p-tolylimino)thiazolidin-4-one (3 mmol) and base supported ionic liquid-like phase (SILLP) (0.5 g) in ethanol (20 mL), 4-methylthiobenzaldehyde (3 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at reflux for 3h.S ILLP was separated by filtration. Then the solution was concentrated in vacuum and kept at -15 ºC over 2h.The residue was filtered off and recrystallized from methanol to give 3-allyl-5-(4-(methylthio)benzylidene)-2-(p-tolylimino)thiazolidin-4-one as ayellow solid in 87 %yield (m.p. =138-140°C). Elemental analysisfound: C, 66.13 %; H, 5.35 %; N, 7.47 %; calculated for C 21 H 20 N 2 OS 2 :C,66.28 %; H, 5.30 %; N, 7.36 %. Melting points were measured on aElectrothermal 9100 instrument and are uncorrected. Elemental analyses were made by aC arlo-Erba EA1110CNNO-S analyzer. Experimental detailsAll hydrogen atomswere refined in isotropic approximation in a riding model with U iso (H) =1 .2 U eq (C). The structure was checked with PLATON [1] and no solvent accesible void was found. The residual densities are 0.32 eÅ -3 (highest peak at 1.24 Åfrom C13) and -0.21 eÅ -3 (deepest hole at 0.61 Åfrom H12). DiscussionThiazolidinone moiety is an important structure element in medicinal chemistry [2][3][4][5][6] and substituted thiazolidinones show a broad spectrum of biological activities [7][8][9][10][11] [16].Therefore, facile preparation of various 5-arylidene thiazolidinones is highly desirable. In continuation of our ongoing interests in the development of benign methods targeted at the synthesis of biologically important heterocycles [17][18][19], we used base supported ionic liquid-like phase (SILLP) [20] as an efficientand recyclablesolid phasecatalystinthe synthesis of thetitle compound. The X-ray diffractometric analysis of the title product was carried out on the single crystal prepared in peteroleum ether/EtOAc(4:1). The packing in the title crystal structure can be described as asuccessionofparallel layers.The conjugationbetween C=Oand the amiden itrogeni se vident from thev alue of theb ondl ength d(Nl-C10) =1.362(5)Å.The thiazole ring is planar as indicated by torsion angles ÐC9-C10-N1-C14 =-3.4(5)°, ÐN1-C10-C9-S2 =0.4(4)°, ÐC10-C9-S2-C14 =1.8(3)°and ÐN1-C14-S2-C9 =-36(3)°. In addition, the torsion angles ÐS2-C14-N2-C15 =0 .8(6)°, ÐO1-C10-N1-C11 =1 .2(6)°, ÐN2-C14-N1-C11 =1.8(6)°, ÐC5-C8-C9-S2 =-1.0(7)°and ÐN1-C10-C9-S2 =0 .4(4)°revealed that the thiazole ring is coplanar with O1, N2,C 5, C8,C 11 and C15.T he distances.362(5) Åagree with the literature reports [21][22][23][24][25]. The bond length d(C14-N2) =1.259(5) Åand the angles ÐN2-C14-S2 =128.2(3)°and ÐN2-C14-N1 =121.8(4)°con-firm the imine nature of the N2-C14 bond. The distance d(C8-C9)=1.331(5) Åand the angles ÐC8-C9-S2 =129.7(3)°a nd ÐC8-C9-C10 =120.5(3)°are consistant with double bond features of C8-C9.This analysis also unambiguously confirmed the Z configuration at the chiral axis and this is quite evident from the spatial orientation of arylg roups attached to C14-N2 and C8-C9 double bonds.
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.
