Synthesis of 5-Arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones by Knoevenagel Condensation Catalyzed by Baker's Yeast. -Baker's yeast offers an eco-friendly protocol for the Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with active methylene compounds. The thiazolidinediones (VI) are precursors of hypoglycemic agents. -(PRATAP, U. R.; JAWALE, D. V.; WAGHMARE, R. A.; LINGAMPALLE, D. L.; MANE*, R. A.; New J.
