The reaction of ethyl 5-phenylthioureido-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylate with bromoacetic acid afforded (imidazolylimino)thiazolidinones, which were transformed into the corresponding 5-arylidene-4-thiazolidinones by the reactions with aldehydes. Under the conditions of the Knoevenagel reaction, the thiazolidine ring in derivatives of 4-(4-oxothiazolidin-2-ylidene-amino)-3H-imidazole-4-carboxamides was opened to form substituted guanidines.
