Stereoselective cyclo-condensation of α-sulfanylcarboxylic acids (or esters) 6 with N-methylarylimines 7 afforded the title compounds, 2-arylthiazolidin-4-ones, some of which exhibit highly potent anti-PAF activity.The reaction without added catalyst gave predominantly cis products, however, when titanium(IV) isopropoxide was added as catalyst trans products were predominantly formed.Allylation of 3-methyl-2-(3-pyridyl)thiazolidin-4-one 22 with allyl bromide using lithium amides gave the trans-5-allyl-2-(3-pyridyl)thiazolidin-4-one 23 with good selectivity.To study the stereostructure-activity relationship, the four optically active isomers of 3,5-dimethyl-2-(3-pyridyl)thiazolidin-4-one 4 and 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-(3-pyridyl)thiazolidin-4-one 5 were synthesized.The absolute configurations of compounds 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray analyses and 1H NMR measurements.Epimerization of the 5-position of compounds 4 and 5 was found to be effected by bases with high regioselectivity (>99percent), which was checked by a cross-over experiment using several optically active compounds.
