A concise approach for the preparation of 5-arylidene-2-imino-4-thiazolidinone derivatives is described. Structurally diverse amines, isothiocyanates, aldehydes, and chloroacetyl chloride were combined under microwaveirradiation to afford new 5-arylidene-2-imino-4-thiazolidinone derivatives. The one-pot synthesis involves the in situ formation of a thiourea followed by reaction with chloroacetyl chloride
