values (cm–1) alone are listed. H and C NMR spectra were recorded at 400 and 100 MHz, respectively, on a
Bruker AMX 400 NMR spectrometer using DMSO-d6 as a solvent. The ESI + ve MS spectra were recorded on a
Bruker Daltonics LC-MS spectrometer. Satisfactory microanalysis was obtained on a Carlo Erba 1106 CHN
analyzer.
By adopting the literature precedent, 1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-ones 1–11 [26] and 2-amino-4,6-diaryl-
pyrimidines 12–22 [27] were synthesized.
2-Phenyl-3-(4',6'-Diphenylpyrimidin-2'-yl)thiazolidin-4-one (23) (General Method). To an ice-cold
stirred solution of 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidine (2.47 g, 0.01 mol) in dry dichloromethane benzaldehyde
(1.06 g, 0.01 mol) was added in drops followed by DCC (2.06 g, 0.0l mol). After 5 min, thioglycolic acid
(0.92 g, 0.01 mol) was added and stirring was continued at 0°C for an additional 5 h. Then the reaction mixture
was filtered off to remove dicyclohexylurea followed by washing with 5% citric acid, 10% sodium bicarbonate,
brine solution, and finally with water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent
under reduced pressure, a gummy mass was obtained, which solidified on treatment with petroleum ether
(bp 40–60°C). Final purification of compound 23 was done by column chromatography using silica gel
(100-200 mesh), with ethyl acetate–petroleum ether (bp 40-60°C) in the ratio of 2:8 as an eluent. IR spectrum, ν,
