Abstract
Condensation of isonicotinaldehyde with 4-aminodiphenyl sulfides 1 and/or sulfones II gave 4-[N-[p-(diaryl/thio)]formimidoyl]-pyridine III and/or 4-[N-[p-(diarylsulfonyl)]-formimidoyl]pyridine IV. Cyclocondensation of mercaptoacetic acid on III and IV gave 3-[p-(diarylthio)]-2-(4-pyridyl)-4-thiazolidinones V and 3-[p-(diarylsulfonyl)]-2-(4-pyridyl)-4-thiazolidinones VI respectively. (Hetero/arylthio)-N-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)-acetamides VIII have been synthesised via interaction of 6-methyl-2-chloroacetamido-pyridine VII with heterocyclic and/or aromatic mercaptans. Reaction of VII with piperidine and/or morpholine affords (IX). Biological activities of these compounds were tested.
