A series of new biologically interesting furoxan-3-thiazolidinones have been synthesized via onepot three-component reaction of furoxan aldehydes, anilines and mercaptoacetic acid. The multicomponent reaction involves condensation of furoxan aldehyde with aniline to give imine; the formed imine undergoes nucleophilic addition with mercaptoacetic acid, followed by cyclisation with loss of H2O to obtain the desired products. All the synthesized compounds were well characterized using spectral techniques and confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure for one compound.
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.
