title: Chemoselective heterocyclization and pharmacological activities of new heterocycles--a review. Part V-Synthesis of biocidal 4-thiazolidinones derivatives.
abstract: 4-Thiazolidinones have been reported to possess biological activity especially fungicidal activity. With an intention to prepare some more 4-thiazolidinones as drugs for anti HIV and anticancer activity, we have synthesized some more 4-thiazolidinones by the action of mercaptoacetic acid on Schiff's base and/or heterocyclization of N-substituted thioureas with monochloracetic acid. Characterization of 4-thiazolidinone was deduced upon elemental and spectral analysis.
