A novel synthesis of thiazolidine-2-thione and thiazolidin-2-one derivatives is described with the iodo-cyclothiocarbamation reaction as the key step for the heterocyclic ring formation. This new method has been applied to the synthesis of thiazolidinones as bioisosteric analogs of Linezolid 2. Antimicrobial properties of two new thiazole derivatives are reported.
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.
