Abstract
Various substituted thiazolidin-2-ones were synthesized from the corresponding thiazolidine-2-thiones with bromoethanol in ethanol with sodium ethoxide as a base. The optimal reaction conditions and mechanism were reinvestigated in detail. The bioassay indicated that (S)-4-isobutyl and (S)-4-benzylthiazolidin-2-ones show certain inhibitive activities against Candida albicans and Escherichia coli.
