Piperidine → (Z)-3-(5-(2,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)propanoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)propanoic acid (200 mg, 1 mmol), 2,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde (168 mg, 1 mmol) and piperidine (0.3 mL) were combined in ethanol (3 mL) and irradiated in the microwave at 100° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction was cooled, the solid was collected by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate/hexanes (1/1) and recrystallized from ethanol to afford 85% yield of the title compound (309 mg, brown-orange solid). MS (M+H, 284); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ, ppm: 2.57 (t, 2H)), 3.74 (s, J=6.8 Hz, 3H), 3.84 (s, 3H), 4.19 (t, 2H), 6.90 (s, 1H), 7.10 (s, 2H), 7.86 (s, 1H).
