Investigation of reaction of arylidene thiazolidinones with vinyl ethers

A convenient strategy was reported for the preparation of new class of N-substituted 5-arylidine thiazolidinones by reaction of 5-arylidine thiazolidinones and vinyl ethyl ether in toluene as solvent. All synthesized products were characterized by FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR spectral data, elemental analyses and mass spectrometry.
