2,3-Dichlorobenzaldehyde → 5-[(2,3-Dichlorophenyl)methylene]-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,3-dichlorobenzaldehyde (4.6 g, mmoles), rhodanine (3.5 g, 25 mmoles), sodium acetate (7.5 g, 91 mmoles), and acetic acid (40 ml) is stirred under an inert atmosphere and heated to reflux. After 2.5 hours the mixture is stirred into ice-water (250 ml) and the precipitate is filtered off, rinsed three times with water and dried. Recrystallization from methanol gave the pure product (2.9 g), mp 203°-204° C.
