Reaction of Thioglycollic Acid with 3,4,5-Trimethoxy benzalanilines

Abstract

Addition of thioglycollic acid to 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzalanilines
has resulted in the formation of 4-thiazolidinones (I-V). These
compounds were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis
and spectral studies. The synthesized compounds were tested in vitro
against Alternaria tenuis, Ustilago tritici,  Sphaeceloma maydis,
Puccinia recondita and Alternaria triticina. Two of these compounds
have been found to possess antifungal activity.
