Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of thiazolidine-2,4-dione (90%, 65 mg, 0.5 mmol), 3,4-dibromobenzaldehyde (132 mg, 0.5 mmol), and piperidine (247 μL, 2.5 mmol) was shaken in acetic acid (2 mL) at 110° C. for 16 hours. After cooling, the mixture was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The resulting crude product was shaken with water, centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded.
