A Facile, Mechanochemical, Solvent-, and Catalyst-Free Synthesis of Functionalized 4-Thiazolidinones

Abstract

A highly eco-friendly greener approach based on the mechanochemical method using mortar and pestle is explored for the preparation of a variety of functionalized 4-thiazolidinones. The developed methodology does not require the use of harmful or expensive reagents and organic solvents and requires very less reaction time with easy isolation. The explored greener approach for the synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones is an important in terms of their usefulness for their valuable pharmacological properties.
