An efficient and environmentally benign method has been developed for the synthesis of 5arylidine-2-(methylthio)-thiazolones derivatives using Alum [KAl(SO4)2•12H2O] catalyst and triethyl amine in water under microwave irradiation. This green transformation generated one C-S and one CC bond, condensation and S-methylation. Notable advantages for the present protocol include, short reaction time, cleaner reaction profile and easy isolation of product by microwave irradiation technique using green catalyst and solvent.
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.
