“…Arylidenerhodanines are generally prepared by reacting aldehydes and rhodanine in organic solvents and in the presence of organic bases like piperidine [ 2 , 4 – 8 ]. Recently, catalysts such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine [ 9 , 10 ], NH 4 Cl/NH 4 OH [ 11 ], K 2 CO 3 /[bmim]BF 4 /H 2 O [ 12 ], NaOAc/HOAc [ 3 , 13 , 14 ], glycine [ 15 ], ammonium acetate [ 16 , 17 ], 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hydroxide [ 18 , 19 ], tetrabutylammonium bromide [ 20 ], and K 2 CO 3 /Al 2 O 3 [ 21 ] have been used in this reaction. Although these methods are valuable, most of them suffer from some disadvantages such as a long reaction time, low yields, the use of toxic solvent, expensive catalyst, requiring a promoter, such as microwave, and tedious work-up procedures.…”
