substituted schiff's bases 2a-o prepared by the treatment of 2-amino-4-(?-methoxyiminocarbomethoxymethyl)-thiazole 1 with different aromatic aldehydes, on cyclocondensation with mercaptoaceticacid and mercaptopropionicacid in dry benzene furnished desired thiazolidinones of type 3a-o and 4a-j, respectively. the structure of the compounds have been assigned on the basis of elemental analyse...

The synthesis of new 2,3,5,6-aryl substituted tetrahydro-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]- thiazoles 4a-j as potential biologically active compounds by the cyclocondensation of phenyl hydrazine with new 5-arylidene derivatives 2a-j of 2,3-disubstituted-1,3- thiazolidin-4-ones 1a-e is reported.

The synthesis of some 9,10-disubstituted anthracene derivatives are described. 9,10-Bis(2-bromoethyl) anthracene 4,9,10-Bis (2-cyanoethyl) anthracene 5 and 9,10-Bis (4-hydroxybutyl) anthracene 11 are synthesized for the first time.

in this work, a green, simple and highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes is described. the condensation of indoles with carbonyl compounds catalyzed by citric acid in water affords bis(indolyl)methanes in high yields and relatively short reaction times. the advantages of this method are using of water as a low cost solvent and efficient recyclability of the catalyst.
