Abstract
A new procedure for synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones from readily availa ble rhodanines is reported. Slow addition of the substrate to excess z inc dust in acetic acid at reflux affords the best yields. Identificat ion of dimeric byproducts led to development of a procedure to suppres s their formation.
