Thiazolidine is an organic liquid. Due to its structure, it can be considered as N , S - acetal . As an isolated substance it has no notable technical importance, but the basic thiazolidine structure is found in many natural substances and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
properties
In chemistry, the thiazolidine backbone is a five-membered ring with one sulfur and one nitrogen atom in the 1- or 3-position. A number of thiazolidine derivatives are of great importance in medical applications. Thiazolidines are popular as a partial structure of penicillins . But they can also be found in other active ingredients such as rosiglitazone and pioglitazone , both of which are used to treat type II diabetes mellitus .
Manufacturing
The preparation of thiazolidine by reacting 2-aminoethanethiol with formaldehyde was described in 1937 by Hans Thacher Clarke . Accordingly, the 1,3-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid is obtained by the reaction of cysteine with formaldehyde. Further substituted thiazolidines are obtained from organic 1-amino-2-mercaptans by reaction with aldehydes or ketones with elimination of water.
Addition reactions at the C = N double bond of 3-thiazolines (see Asinger reaction ) also give thiazolidines.
