Synthesis ofN-(2-hydroxyalkyl)-4-thiazolidinones from oxazolidines
摘要:
The reaction of oxazolidines with mercaptoacetic acid affords N-(2-hydroxyalkyl)-4-thiazolidinones in 58-87% yield regardless of the position of the oxazolidine-iminoalcohol tautomeric equilibrium. The structures of the resulting compounds were confirmed by IR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy.
