Synthesis, X-Ray Structure Determination and Related Physical Properties of Thiazolidinone Derivative by DFT Quantum Chemical Method.

In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of the (Z)-3-N-(ethyl)-2-N'-((3-methoxyphenyl)imino)thiazolidine- 4-one by means of FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR and by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The experimental determination of the crystal structure of the compound has been achieved using X-ray diffraction data. The important characteristic of the structure is the existence of a dihedral angle formed by the benzene and thiazolidinone rings being equal to 86.
