Urazolium diacetate as a new, efficient and reusable Brønsted acid ionic liquid for the synthesis of novel derivatives of thiazolidine-4-ones

Urazolium diacetate catalyzed synthesis of new derivatives of 1,3-thiazolidine-4-ones (azo dispersive dyes family) via multicomponent reaction of various aldehydes, thioglycolic acid and 4-aminoazobenzene under solvent-free reaction was reported. This avenue for the synthesis of new derivatives of thiazolidine-4-one has advantages as: short reaction times, high yields, green aspect of chemistry and environmental friendliness, easy workup, solvent-free conditions and convenient operation.
