Abstract
Thiazolidinone is a saturated five-membered heterocyclic system that features sulfur and nitrogen at the 1 and 3 positions, as well as a carbonyl group. There are several derivatives of thiazolidinone which exist with varied positions of carbonyl groups. It is a well-recognized building block in many natural and medicinal compounds. Thiazolidinone derivatives exhibit a wide range of biological activities. The synthesis of thiazolidinone derivatives has gained significant attention in recent years due to the growing demand for heterocycles. Various strategies have been developed for the synthesis of thiazolidinones. In this review, we discuss several recent synthetic approaches, including catalyst-free, metal-based nano-catalyzed, acid-catalyzed, base-catalyzed, ionic liquid-assisted, and other processes employed in multicomponent reactions to form different thiazolidinone derivatives. These studies can help to further develop effective synthetic strategies for functionalized thiazolidinone derivatives.
