title: Synthesis of novel 2-phenylsulfonylhydrazono-3-(2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-d-glucopyranosyl)thiazolidine-4-ones from thiosemicarbazide precursors.
abstract: To develop novel biologically active organic compounds possessing a sugar moiety, a series of 2-phenylsulfonylhydrazono-3-(2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-d-glucopyranosyl)thiazolidine-4-one were synthesized via reaction of the thiosemicarbazide with ethyl bromoacetate. Their chemical structures were characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and MS. The bioassay results indicated that some of these compound exhibit moderate fungicidal and herbicidal activities. Furthermore, the effect of various solvents at reflux temperature on the reactions of ethyl bromoacetate with the related thiosemicarbazides was investigated.
