Thiazolidinedione → 5-[1-(5-Benzyl-6-oxo-5,6-dihydrophenanthridin-2-yl)methylidene]thiazolidine-2,4-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

592 mg of 5-benzyl-6-oxo-5,6-dihydrophenanthridine-2-carboxaldehyde and 221 mg of 2,4-thiazolidinedione were suspended in 10 ml of toluene. Two drops of acetic acid and two drops of piperidine were added to the suspension, followed by heating and refluxing overnight. The reaction liquid was cooled, and the solid thus obtained was collected by filtration. The collected solid was washed with toluene-diethyl ether, and dried, giving 620 mg (80% yield) of 5-[1-(5-benzyl-6-oxo-5,6-dihydrophenanthridin-2-yl)methylidene]thiazolidine-2,4-dione as a yellow solid.
