Thiazolidine

Thiazolidine is a heterocyclic organic compound with the formula (CH2)3(NH)S. It is a 5-membered saturated ring with a thioether group and an amine group in the 1 and 3 positions. It is a sulfur analog of oxazolidine. Thiazolidine is a colorless liquid.

Derivatives, thiazolidines, are known. For example, the drug pioglitazone contains a thiazolidine ring. Another drug that contains a thiazolidine ring is the antibiotic penicillin.

Preparation

Thiazolidine is prepared as it was in its first reported synthesis, by the condensation of cysteamine and formaldehyde.[2] Other thiazolidines may be synthesized by similar condensations. A notable derivative is 4-carboxythiazolidine, derived from formaldehyde and cysteine.

Derivatives

N-Methyl-2-thiazolidinethione is an accelerator for the vulcanization of chloroprene rubbers.[3]

Thiazolidines functionalized with carbonyls at the 2 and 4 positions, the thiazolidinediones, are drugs used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2. Rhodanine is a related bioactive species, featuring one carbonyl and one thiocarbonyl.

gollark: *GNU/*Linux, and that's mostly just a DE problem.
gollark: Yes, exactly.
gollark: GNU/Linux would also be generally a lot nicer.
gollark: I mean, Arch seems more reliable than my Android phone honestly.
gollark: Why?
