Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-bromo-3-{4-[3-hydroxy-2-(3-methyl-2-pyridyl)propoxy]phenyl}propionate (4.7 g), thiourea (875 mg), sodium acetate (943 mg) and ethanol (50 ml) was heated under reflux for 3 hours. The mixture was diluted with water, neutralized with aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and freed of the solvent to give 5-{4-[3-hydroxy-2-(3-methyl-2-pyridyl)propoxy]-benzyl}-2-imino-4-thiazolidinone in the form of crystals. Yield of 25 g. Recrystallization from chloroform-methanol produced colorless prisms. m.p. 213°-214° C.
