A convenient approach to synthesize substituted 5-Arylidene-3-m-tolyl thiazolidine-2, 4-diones by using morpholine as a catalyst and its theoretical study
Abstract:Thiazolidinediones are very important and used as a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Here, we report a convenient approach to synthesis 3-m-tolyl-5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones (TZDs) derivatives 7a-e in two steps with moderate to good yield using morpholine as a catalyst. All the structures were confirmed by their spectral IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR data. The anti-diabatic activity of all synthesized molecules is evaluated by docking with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). Prelimi… Show more
