An efficient solvent-tuning approach for the rapid synthesis of thiazolidinone derivatives and the selective synthesis of 2-amino-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one and dimethyl 3,3′-thiodiacrylates

Green synthetic approach has been developed for the rapid generation of thiazolidinone derivatives as crystallized products under catalyst-free conditions in water by polarity adjustment with ethyl lactate as a co-solvent in excellent yields. Additionally, interesting findings on the selective synthesis of 2-amino-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one and dimethyl 3,3′-thiodiacrylates have been reported.
