thiazolidinone

New methacrylic monomers, their polymers with benzylidene fragment were synthesized. Structures of all compounds were determined by HNMR, UV- spectroscopies. The third order nonlinear optical properties of oxazolone, thiazolidinone and thiohydantoin containing compounds were investigated in solutions using degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) method at 532 nm.

Following the N-alkylation reaction of starting 2-chloro-N-(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-acetamides 1a-c with 2,4-thiazolidinedione or 5-sudstituted isatins the corresponding non-condensed oxadiazole derivatives with thiazolidine 2a-c or isatin 4a-h fragments were synthesized. The obtained compounds have been used in Knoevenagel condensation with 5R-isatin (for 2a-c) or 4-thiazolidinone derivatives (for 4a-h) for synthesis of the appropriate 5-ylidenederivatives 3a-g, 5a-k and 6a-d.
