mass spectrometry IR spectra of 2andashf showed common char-acteristic absorption bands at 3142ndash3176 cmminus1 (NH) 1707ndash1732 cmminus1 (thiazolidinone C=O) and 1670ndash1681 cmminus1 (NH-C=O) which provided evidence for the ring closure reactionbetween 1andashf and 2-sulfanylpropanoic acid Disappearanceof the peak at 8 ppm corresponding to N=CH proton of 1andashf [37] and the observation of C-2 proton of 2andashf at 588ndash630 ppm in the 1H-NMR spectra were also taken as the proofof the formation of thiazolidin-4-one ring

The structure of 2b was confirmed by the HMBC spec-trum in which the correlations of C-8 (120575C 1645 1646 ppm)with H-10 (120575H 886 ppm) H-14 (120575H 807 ppm) and N-H(H-7) (120575H 1094 1095 ppm) C-4 (120575C 1726 1727 ppm) withH-5 (120575H 412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) andC-6 (120575C 206 202 ppm) with H-2 (120575H 590 ppm) H-5 (120575H412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) enabled definiteassignment of CONH (C-8) and thiazolidinone C=O (C-4)carbons (Figure 3)

32 Stereochemical Investigations Due to the formation ofa new stereocenter at C-2 in principle four stereoisomerswere expected to form the following two enantiomeric (2S-5R2R-5S 2S-5S2R-5R) and two diastereomeric pairs (2S-5R2S-5S 2R-5S2R-5R) (Figure 4) In fact compounds 2andashf were obtained as mixtures of unequal composition of twodiastereomers which were differentiated by their 1H NMRspectra (Figure 5) It has been observed that the ratios ofthe major and minor diastereomers calculated from theintegration values of the C-5 methine proton signals were54 46 40 60 47 53 80 20 27 73 and48 52 for compounds 2andashf respectively 13C signals atC-2 C-4 C-5 and C-6 positions for compounds 2b and 2e

also appeared as double peaks in the HMBC spectra due tothe formation diastereoisomers (see Section 2) Chiral HPLCof compounds 2b and 2c on the Chiralpak AD-H columnresulted in four peaks (Figure 6) which further proved thepresence of four stereoisomers

For all diastereomeric compounds (Figure 4) it wasobserved that C-5 methine proton on the thiazolidinonemoiety was coupled with C-6 methyl protons and appearedas two quartets (Table 1 Figure 5) Similarly the signal of C-6methyl protons was coupled with C-5 methine and observedas two doublets for compounds 2bndash2f In all of the 1H NMRspectra of compounds2andash2f (except2b) the higher frequencysignals of C-5 methine appeared as a quartet of doublets dueto the long-range coupling with the C-2 proton The twodiastereotopic C-2 hydrogens could be observed separatelyonly for compounds 2cndash2f Aromatic protons of pyridyl andC-2 aryl rings gave signals between 69 and 90 ppm In thisregion some of the aromatic peaks corresponding to twodiastereomers could also be observed separately for all com-pounds (Figure 5) The N-H proton was observed at around11 ppm as two singlets with unequal integral ratios for com-pounds 2b 2c and 2f and only one singlet for 2a 2d and 2e

We have previously elucidated the stereostructures ofsome oxazolidine derivatives byNOESY experiment [38ndash40]The configurations of the major and minor stereoisomersof thiazolidin-4-one derivatives (2andash2f) were determinedby means of 1H NMR and NOESY spectra of compound2f The 1H NMR spectrum of 2f showed that the majordiastereomer had its C-5 methine signal (quartet) at a lowerfrequency (410 ppm 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz) than the signalof the minor component (421 ppm qd 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz119869H-5H-2 196Hz) The signal of C-2 proton of compound2f was observed as two separate signals (Δ120575 004 ppm)corresponding to two diastereomers a singlet at 626 ppm forthemajor diastereomer and a doublet at 622 ppm (4119869H-2H-5 =

196Hz) for the minor diastereomer The observed long-range coupling constant (4119869) of the doublet which is char-acteristic of trans protons [41] was consistent with that ofthe higher frequency quartet ofminor diastereomer Based onthese results the stereochemistry of the minor diastereomerwas assigned as 2S 5S or 2R 5R in which C-2 and C-5methine protons are trans to each other (Figure 4)

NOESY spectrum for compound 2f was taken in orderto further prove that the stereochemistry of the minor andthe major diastereomers was 2S 5S2R 5R and 2S 5R2R5S respectively (Figure 7) Observation of the cross peaks at

626 ppm and 410 ppm in 2D NOESY spectrum indicatedthe spatial proximity of C-2 and C-5 methine hydrogens ofthemajor diastereomer (Figure 7(a)) Cross peaks at 152 ppmand 786 ppmalso revealed thatC-6methyl and the hydrogensof the aryl ring [42 43] of the major diastereomer arein close proximity (Figure 7(b)) These observations wereconsistent with the 2R 5S or 2S 5R configurations Similarlyfor the minor diastereomer cross peaks between the signalsof C-6 methyl and C-2 methine hydrogens were observed(Figure 7(c)) A NOESY correlation between C-5 methineand aromatic protons (Figure 7(d)) further confirmed thatthe configurations of C-2 and C-5 positions of the minordiastereomer were 2S 5S or 2R 5R Since the spectra of2andash2f have the feature in common by analogy it could beconcluded that all the deshielded signals of C-5 methinebelong to 2S 5S or 2R 5R stereoisomer (Table 1) Based onthese results the configurations of C-2 and C-5 centers of themajor and minor diastereomers are given in Table 2

The diastereomeric isomer ratios of compounds 2b and2c obtained by the integration of the 1H NMR signals havebeen found identical with those obtained by HPLC analysisTherefore with the knowledge of the configurations of the C-2 and C-5 centers of the major and minor diastereomers of2b and 2c the HPLC peaks (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) markedby ldquoclubsrdquo could be assigned to 2S 5R or 2R 5S (major) and theothers to 2S 5S or 2R 5R (minor)

In order to determine the reason of the diastereoselectiv-ity of the synthesis samples of 2d and 2e were recrystallizedonce again from ethanol and the composition of crystalsprecipitated first was analyzed by NMR We have found adifferent composition for 2d and 2e Therefore the differentisomer ratios showed that the obvious diastereoselectivityupon recrystallization from ethanol was due to differentsolubilities of the diastereomeric isomers in ethanol whichwas observed previously [29 30 39 40] and not related to anyremarkable favorable attack during ring closure Neverthelessfractional crystallization of the product from ethanol allowedfor an easy access to diastereomerically enriched 2b 2d and2e (Table 2)

4 Conclusions

The reaction of aryl 1198731015840-(substituted benzylidene)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide with 2-mercaptopropanoic acid produced

mixtures of unequal composition of two diastereomeric119873-[2-(aryl)-5-methyl-4-oxo-13-thiazolidine-3-yl]-pyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives which were differentiated by 1HNMR spectra The configurations of C-2 and C-5 stereogeniccenters of thiazolidin-4-one ring for the major and theminor diastereomers have been found via one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy Four stereoisomers ofcompounds 2b and 2c were resolved by chiral HPLC

mass spectrometry IR spectra of 2andashf showed common char-acteristic absorption bands at 3142ndash3176 cmminus1 (NH) 1707ndash1732 cmminus1 (thiazolidinone C=O) and 1670ndash1681 cmminus1 (NH-C=O) which provided evidence for the ring closure reactionbetween 1andashf and 2-sulfanylpropanoic acid Disappearanceof the peak at 8 ppm corresponding to N=CH proton of 1andashf [37] and the observation of C-2 proton of 2andashf at 588ndash630 ppm in the 1H-NMR spectra were also taken as the proofof the formation of thiazolidin-4-one ring

The structure of 2b was confirmed by the HMBC spec-trum in which the correlations of C-8 (120575C 1645 1646 ppm)with H-10 (120575H 886 ppm) H-14 (120575H 807 ppm) and N-H(H-7) (120575H 1094 1095 ppm) C-4 (120575C 1726 1727 ppm) withH-5 (120575H 412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) andC-6 (120575C 206 202 ppm) with H-2 (120575H 590 ppm) H-5 (120575H412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) enabled definiteassignment of CONH (C-8) and thiazolidinone C=O (C-4)carbons (Figure 3)

32 Stereochemical Investigations Due to the formation ofa new stereocenter at C-2 in principle four stereoisomerswere expected to form the following two enantiomeric (2S-5R2R-5S 2S-5S2R-5R) and two diastereomeric pairs (2S-5R2S-5S 2R-5S2R-5R) (Figure 4) In fact compounds 2andashf were obtained as mixtures of unequal composition of twodiastereomers which were differentiated by their 1H NMRspectra (Figure 5) It has been observed that the ratios ofthe major and minor diastereomers calculated from theintegration values of the C-5 methine proton signals were54 46 40 60 47 53 80 20 27 73 and48 52 for compounds 2andashf respectively 13C signals atC-2 C-4 C-5 and C-6 positions for compounds 2b and 2e

also appeared as double peaks in the HMBC spectra due tothe formation diastereoisomers (see Section 2) Chiral HPLCof compounds 2b and 2c on the Chiralpak AD-H columnresulted in four peaks (Figure 6) which further proved thepresence of four stereoisomers

For all diastereomeric compounds (Figure 4) it wasobserved that C-5 methine proton on the thiazolidinonemoiety was coupled with C-6 methyl protons and appearedas two quartets (Table 1 Figure 5) Similarly the signal of C-6methyl protons was coupled with C-5 methine and observedas two doublets for compounds 2bndash2f In all of the 1H NMRspectra of compounds2andash2f (except2b) the higher frequencysignals of C-5 methine appeared as a quartet of doublets dueto the long-range coupling with the C-2 proton The twodiastereotopic C-2 hydrogens could be observed separatelyonly for compounds 2cndash2f Aromatic protons of pyridyl andC-2 aryl rings gave signals between 69 and 90 ppm In thisregion some of the aromatic peaks corresponding to twodiastereomers could also be observed separately for all com-pounds (Figure 5) The N-H proton was observed at around11 ppm as two singlets with unequal integral ratios for com-pounds 2b 2c and 2f and only one singlet for 2a 2d and 2e

We have previously elucidated the stereostructures ofsome oxazolidine derivatives byNOESY experiment [38ndash40]The configurations of the major and minor stereoisomersof thiazolidin-4-one derivatives (2andash2f) were determinedby means of 1H NMR and NOESY spectra of compound2f The 1H NMR spectrum of 2f showed that the majordiastereomer had its C-5 methine signal (quartet) at a lowerfrequency (410 ppm 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz) than the signalof the minor component (421 ppm qd 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz119869H-5H-2 196Hz) The signal of C-2 proton of compound2f was observed as two separate signals (Δ120575 004 ppm)corresponding to two diastereomers a singlet at 626 ppm forthemajor diastereomer and a doublet at 622 ppm (4119869H-2H-5 =

196Hz) for the minor diastereomer The observed long-range coupling constant (4119869) of the doublet which is char-acteristic of trans protons [41] was consistent with that ofthe higher frequency quartet ofminor diastereomer Based onthese results the stereochemistry of the minor diastereomerwas assigned as 2S 5S or 2R 5R in which C-2 and C-5methine protons are trans to each other (Figure 4)

NOESY spectrum for compound 2f was taken in orderto further prove that the stereochemistry of the minor andthe major diastereomers was 2S 5S2R 5R and 2S 5R2R5S respectively (Figure 7) Observation of the cross peaks at

626 ppm and 410 ppm in 2D NOESY spectrum indicatedthe spatial proximity of C-2 and C-5 methine hydrogens ofthemajor diastereomer (Figure 7(a)) Cross peaks at 152 ppmand 786 ppmalso revealed thatC-6methyl and the hydrogensof the aryl ring [42 43] of the major diastereomer arein close proximity (Figure 7(b)) These observations wereconsistent with the 2R 5S or 2S 5R configurations Similarlyfor the minor diastereomer cross peaks between the signalsof C-6 methyl and C-2 methine hydrogens were observed(Figure 7(c)) A NOESY correlation between C-5 methineand aromatic protons (Figure 7(d)) further confirmed thatthe configurations of C-2 and C-5 positions of the minordiastereomer were 2S 5S or 2R 5R Since the spectra of2andash2f have the feature in common by analogy it could beconcluded that all the deshielded signals of C-5 methinebelong to 2S 5S or 2R 5R stereoisomer (Table 1) Based onthese results the configurations of C-2 and C-5 centers of themajor and minor diastereomers are given in Table 2

The diastereomeric isomer ratios of compounds 2b and2c obtained by the integration of the 1H NMR signals havebeen found identical with those obtained by HPLC analysisTherefore with the knowledge of the configurations of the C-2 and C-5 centers of the major and minor diastereomers of2b and 2c the HPLC peaks (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) markedby ldquoclubsrdquo could be assigned to 2S 5R or 2R 5S (major) and theothers to 2S 5S or 2R 5R (minor)

In order to determine the reason of the diastereoselectiv-ity of the synthesis samples of 2d and 2e were recrystallizedonce again from ethanol and the composition of crystalsprecipitated first was analyzed by NMR We have found adifferent composition for 2d and 2e Therefore the differentisomer ratios showed that the obvious diastereoselectivityupon recrystallization from ethanol was due to differentsolubilities of the diastereomeric isomers in ethanol whichwas observed previously [29 30 39 40] and not related to anyremarkable favorable attack during ring closure Neverthelessfractional crystallization of the product from ethanol allowedfor an easy access to diastereomerically enriched 2b 2d and2e (Table 2)

4 Conclusions

The reaction of aryl 1198731015840-(substituted benzylidene)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide with 2-mercaptopropanoic acid produced

mixtures of unequal composition of two diastereomeric119873-[2-(aryl)-5-methyl-4-oxo-13-thiazolidine-3-yl]-pyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives which were differentiated by 1HNMR spectra The configurations of C-2 and C-5 stereogeniccenters of thiazolidin-4-one ring for the major and theminor diastereomers have been found via one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy Four stereoisomers ofcompounds 2b and 2c were resolved by chiral HPLC

mass spectrometry IR spectra of 2andashf showed common char-acteristic absorption bands at 3142ndash3176 cmminus1 (NH) 1707ndash1732 cmminus1 (thiazolidinone C=O) and 1670ndash1681 cmminus1 (NH-C=O) which provided evidence for the ring closure reactionbetween 1andashf and 2-sulfanylpropanoic acid Disappearanceof the peak at 8 ppm corresponding to N=CH proton of 1andashf [37] and the observation of C-2 proton of 2andashf at 588ndash630 ppm in the 1H-NMR spectra were also taken as the proofof the formation of thiazolidin-4-one ring

The structure of 2b was confirmed by the HMBC spec-trum in which the correlations of C-8 (120575C 1645 1646 ppm)with H-10 (120575H 886 ppm) H-14 (120575H 807 ppm) and N-H(H-7) (120575H 1094 1095 ppm) C-4 (120575C 1726 1727 ppm) withH-5 (120575H 412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) andC-6 (120575C 206 202 ppm) with H-2 (120575H 590 ppm) H-5 (120575H412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) enabled definiteassignment of CONH (C-8) and thiazolidinone C=O (C-4)carbons (Figure 3)

32 Stereochemical Investigations Due to the formation ofa new stereocenter at C-2 in principle four stereoisomerswere expected to form the following two enantiomeric (2S-5R2R-5S 2S-5S2R-5R) and two diastereomeric pairs (2S-5R2S-5S 2R-5S2R-5R) (Figure 4) In fact compounds 2andashf were obtained as mixtures of unequal composition of twodiastereomers which were differentiated by their 1H NMRspectra (Figure 5) It has been observed that the ratios ofthe major and minor diastereomers calculated from theintegration values of the C-5 methine proton signals were54 46 40 60 47 53 80 20 27 73 and48 52 for compounds 2andashf respectively 13C signals atC-2 C-4 C-5 and C-6 positions for compounds 2b and 2e

also appeared as double peaks in the HMBC spectra due tothe formation diastereoisomers (see Section 2) Chiral HPLCof compounds 2b and 2c on the Chiralpak AD-H columnresulted in four peaks (Figure 6) which further proved thepresence of four stereoisomers

For all diastereomeric compounds (Figure 4) it wasobserved that C-5 methine proton on the thiazolidinonemoiety was coupled with C-6 methyl protons and appearedas two quartets (Table 1 Figure 5) Similarly the signal of C-6methyl protons was coupled with C-5 methine and observedas two doublets for compounds 2bndash2f In all of the 1H NMRspectra of compounds2andash2f (except2b) the higher frequencysignals of C-5 methine appeared as a quartet of doublets dueto the long-range coupling with the C-2 proton The twodiastereotopic C-2 hydrogens could be observed separatelyonly for compounds 2cndash2f Aromatic protons of pyridyl andC-2 aryl rings gave signals between 69 and 90 ppm In thisregion some of the aromatic peaks corresponding to twodiastereomers could also be observed separately for all com-pounds (Figure 5) The N-H proton was observed at around11 ppm as two singlets with unequal integral ratios for com-pounds 2b 2c and 2f and only one singlet for 2a 2d and 2e

We have previously elucidated the stereostructures ofsome oxazolidine derivatives byNOESY experiment [38ndash40]The configurations of the major and minor stereoisomersof thiazolidin-4-one derivatives (2andash2f) were determinedby means of 1H NMR and NOESY spectra of compound2f The 1H NMR spectrum of 2f showed that the majordiastereomer had its C-5 methine signal (quartet) at a lowerfrequency (410 ppm 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz) than the signalof the minor component (421 ppm qd 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz119869H-5H-2 196Hz) The signal of C-2 proton of compound2f was observed as two separate signals (Δ120575 004 ppm)corresponding to two diastereomers a singlet at 626 ppm forthemajor diastereomer and a doublet at 622 ppm (4119869H-2H-5 =

196Hz) for the minor diastereomer The observed long-range coupling constant (4119869) of the doublet which is char-acteristic of trans protons [41] was consistent with that ofthe higher frequency quartet ofminor diastereomer Based onthese results the stereochemistry of the minor diastereomerwas assigned as 2S 5S or 2R 5R in which C-2 and C-5methine protons are trans to each other (Figure 4)

NOESY spectrum for compound 2f was taken in orderto further prove that the stereochemistry of the minor andthe major diastereomers was 2S 5S2R 5R and 2S 5R2R5S respectively (Figure 7) Observation of the cross peaks at

626 ppm and 410 ppm in 2D NOESY spectrum indicatedthe spatial proximity of C-2 and C-5 methine hydrogens ofthemajor diastereomer (Figure 7(a)) Cross peaks at 152 ppmand 786 ppmalso revealed thatC-6methyl and the hydrogensof the aryl ring [42 43] of the major diastereomer arein close proximity (Figure 7(b)) These observations wereconsistent with the 2R 5S or 2S 5R configurations Similarlyfor the minor diastereomer cross peaks between the signalsof C-6 methyl and C-2 methine hydrogens were observed(Figure 7(c)) A NOESY correlation between C-5 methineand aromatic protons (Figure 7(d)) further confirmed thatthe configurations of C-2 and C-5 positions of the minordiastereomer were 2S 5S or 2R 5R Since the spectra of2andash2f have the feature in common by analogy it could beconcluded that all the deshielded signals of C-5 methinebelong to 2S 5S or 2R 5R stereoisomer (Table 1) Based onthese results the configurations of C-2 and C-5 centers of themajor and minor diastereomers are given in Table 2

The diastereomeric isomer ratios of compounds 2b and2c obtained by the integration of the 1H NMR signals havebeen found identical with those obtained by HPLC analysisTherefore with the knowledge of the configurations of the C-2 and C-5 centers of the major and minor diastereomers of2b and 2c the HPLC peaks (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) markedby ldquoclubsrdquo could be assigned to 2S 5R or 2R 5S (major) and theothers to 2S 5S or 2R 5R (minor)

In order to determine the reason of the diastereoselectiv-ity of the synthesis samples of 2d and 2e were recrystallizedonce again from ethanol and the composition of crystalsprecipitated first was analyzed by NMR We have found adifferent composition for 2d and 2e Therefore the differentisomer ratios showed that the obvious diastereoselectivityupon recrystallization from ethanol was due to differentsolubilities of the diastereomeric isomers in ethanol whichwas observed previously [29 30 39 40] and not related to anyremarkable favorable attack during ring closure Neverthelessfractional crystallization of the product from ethanol allowedfor an easy access to diastereomerically enriched 2b 2d and2e (Table 2)

4 Conclusions

The reaction of aryl 1198731015840-(substituted benzylidene)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide with 2-mercaptopropanoic acid produced

mixtures of unequal composition of two diastereomeric119873-[2-(aryl)-5-methyl-4-oxo-13-thiazolidine-3-yl]-pyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives which were differentiated by 1HNMR spectra The configurations of C-2 and C-5 stereogeniccenters of thiazolidin-4-one ring for the major and theminor diastereomers have been found via one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy Four stereoisomers ofcompounds 2b and 2c were resolved by chiral HPLC

mass spectrometry IR spectra of 2andashf showed common char-acteristic absorption bands at 3142ndash3176 cmminus1 (NH) 1707ndash1732 cmminus1 (thiazolidinone C=O) and 1670ndash1681 cmminus1 (NH-C=O) which provided evidence for the ring closure reactionbetween 1andashf and 2-sulfanylpropanoic acid Disappearanceof the peak at 8 ppm corresponding to N=CH proton of 1andashf [37] and the observation of C-2 proton of 2andashf at 588ndash630 ppm in the 1H-NMR spectra were also taken as the proofof the formation of thiazolidin-4-one ring

The structure of 2b was confirmed by the HMBC spec-trum in which the correlations of C-8 (120575C 1645 1646 ppm)with H-10 (120575H 886 ppm) H-14 (120575H 807 ppm) and N-H(H-7) (120575H 1094 1095 ppm) C-4 (120575C 1726 1727 ppm) withH-5 (120575H 412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) andC-6 (120575C 206 202 ppm) with H-2 (120575H 590 ppm) H-5 (120575H412 422 ppm) and H-6 (120575H 154 155 ppm) enabled definiteassignment of CONH (C-8) and thiazolidinone C=O (C-4)carbons (Figure 3)

32 Stereochemical Investigations Due to the formation ofa new stereocenter at C-2 in principle four stereoisomerswere expected to form the following two enantiomeric (2S-5R2R-5S 2S-5S2R-5R) and two diastereomeric pairs (2S-5R2S-5S 2R-5S2R-5R) (Figure 4) In fact compounds 2andashf were obtained as mixtures of unequal composition of twodiastereomers which were differentiated by their 1H NMRspectra (Figure 5) It has been observed that the ratios ofthe major and minor diastereomers calculated from theintegration values of the C-5 methine proton signals were54 46 40 60 47 53 80 20 27 73 and48 52 for compounds 2andashf respectively 13C signals atC-2 C-4 C-5 and C-6 positions for compounds 2b and 2e

also appeared as double peaks in the HMBC spectra due tothe formation diastereoisomers (see Section 2) Chiral HPLCof compounds 2b and 2c on the Chiralpak AD-H columnresulted in four peaks (Figure 6) which further proved thepresence of four stereoisomers

For all diastereomeric compounds (Figure 4) it wasobserved that C-5 methine proton on the thiazolidinonemoiety was coupled with C-6 methyl protons and appearedas two quartets (Table 1 Figure 5) Similarly the signal of C-6methyl protons was coupled with C-5 methine and observedas two doublets for compounds 2bndash2f In all of the 1H NMRspectra of compounds2andash2f (except2b) the higher frequencysignals of C-5 methine appeared as a quartet of doublets dueto the long-range coupling with the C-2 proton The twodiastereotopic C-2 hydrogens could be observed separatelyonly for compounds 2cndash2f Aromatic protons of pyridyl andC-2 aryl rings gave signals between 69 and 90 ppm In thisregion some of the aromatic peaks corresponding to twodiastereomers could also be observed separately for all com-pounds (Figure 5) The N-H proton was observed at around11 ppm as two singlets with unequal integral ratios for com-pounds 2b 2c and 2f and only one singlet for 2a 2d and 2e

We have previously elucidated the stereostructures ofsome oxazolidine derivatives byNOESY experiment [38ndash40]The configurations of the major and minor stereoisomersof thiazolidin-4-one derivatives (2andash2f) were determinedby means of 1H NMR and NOESY spectra of compound2f The 1H NMR spectrum of 2f showed that the majordiastereomer had its C-5 methine signal (quartet) at a lowerfrequency (410 ppm 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz) than the signalof the minor component (421 ppm qd 119869H-5CH3-6 = 70Hz119869H-5H-2 196Hz) The signal of C-2 proton of compound2f was observed as two separate signals (Δ120575 004 ppm)corresponding to two diastereomers a singlet at 626 ppm forthemajor diastereomer and a doublet at 622 ppm (4119869H-2H-5 =

196Hz) for the minor diastereomer The observed long-range coupling constant (4119869) of the doublet which is char-acteristic of trans protons [41] was consistent with that ofthe higher frequency quartet ofminor diastereomer Based onthese results the stereochemistry of the minor diastereomerwas assigned as 2S 5S or 2R 5R in which C-2 and C-5methine protons are trans to each other (Figure 4)

NOESY spectrum for compound 2f was taken in orderto further prove that the stereochemistry of the minor andthe major diastereomers was 2S 5S2R 5R and 2S 5R2R5S respectively (Figure 7) Observation of the cross peaks at

626 ppm and 410 ppm in 2D NOESY spectrum indicatedthe spatial proximity of C-2 and C-5 methine hydrogens ofthemajor diastereomer (Figure 7(a)) Cross peaks at 152 ppmand 786 ppmalso revealed thatC-6methyl and the hydrogensof the aryl ring [42 43] of the major diastereomer arein close proximity (Figure 7(b)) These observations wereconsistent with the 2R 5S or 2S 5R configurations Similarlyfor the minor diastereomer cross peaks between the signalsof C-6 methyl and C-2 methine hydrogens were observed(Figure 7(c)) A NOESY correlation between C-5 methineand aromatic protons (Figure 7(d)) further confirmed thatthe configurations of C-2 and C-5 positions of the minordiastereomer were 2S 5S or 2R 5R Since the spectra of2andash2f have the feature in common by analogy it could beconcluded that all the deshielded signals of C-5 methinebelong to 2S 5S or 2R 5R stereoisomer (Table 1) Based onthese results the configurations of C-2 and C-5 centers of themajor and minor diastereomers are given in Table 2

The diastereomeric isomer ratios of compounds 2b and2c obtained by the integration of the 1H NMR signals havebeen found identical with those obtained by HPLC analysisTherefore with the knowledge of the configurations of the C-2 and C-5 centers of the major and minor diastereomers of2b and 2c the HPLC peaks (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) markedby ldquoclubsrdquo could be assigned to 2S 5R or 2R 5S (major) and theothers to 2S 5S or 2R 5R (minor)

In order to determine the reason of the diastereoselectiv-ity of the synthesis samples of 2d and 2e were recrystallizedonce again from ethanol and the composition of crystalsprecipitated first was analyzed by NMR We have found adifferent composition for 2d and 2e Therefore the differentisomer ratios showed that the obvious diastereoselectivityupon recrystallization from ethanol was due to differentsolubilities of the diastereomeric isomers in ethanol whichwas observed previously [29 30 39 40] and not related to anyremarkable favorable attack during ring closure Neverthelessfractional crystallization of the product from ethanol allowedfor an easy access to diastereomerically enriched 2b 2d and2e (Table 2)

4 Conclusions

The reaction of aryl 1198731015840-(substituted benzylidene)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide with 2-mercaptopropanoic acid produced

mixtures of unequal composition of two diastereomeric119873-[2-(aryl)-5-methyl-4-oxo-13-thiazolidine-3-yl]-pyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives which were differentiated by 1HNMR spectra The configurations of C-2 and C-5 stereogeniccenters of thiazolidin-4-one ring for the major and theminor diastereomers have been found via one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy Four stereoisomers ofcompounds 2b and 2c were resolved by chiral HPLC

626 ppm and 410 ppm in 2D NOESY spectrum indicatedthe spatial proximity of C-2 and C-5 methine hydrogens ofthemajor diastereomer (Figure 7(a)) Cross peaks at 152 ppmand 786 ppmalso revealed thatC-6methyl and the hydrogensof the aryl ring [42 43] of the major diastereomer arein close proximity (Figure 7(b)) These observations wereconsistent with the 2R 5S or 2S 5R configurations Similarlyfor the minor diastereomer cross peaks between the signalsof C-6 methyl and C-2 methine hydrogens were observed(Figure 7(c)) A NOESY correlation between C-5 methineand aromatic protons (Figure 7(d)) further confirmed thatthe configurations of C-2 and C-5 positions of the minordiastereomer were 2S 5S or 2R 5R Since the spectra of2andash2f have the feature in common by analogy it could beconcluded that all the deshielded signals of C-5 methinebelong to 2S 5S or 2R 5R stereoisomer (Table 1) Based onthese results the configurations of C-2 and C-5 centers of themajor and minor diastereomers are given in Table 2

The diastereomeric isomer ratios of compounds 2b and2c obtained by the integration of the 1H NMR signals havebeen found identical with those obtained by HPLC analysisTherefore with the knowledge of the configurations of the C-2 and C-5 centers of the major and minor diastereomers of2b and 2c the HPLC peaks (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) markedby ldquoclubsrdquo could be assigned to 2S 5R or 2R 5S (major) and theothers to 2S 5S or 2R 5R (minor)

In order to determine the reason of the diastereoselectiv-ity of the synthesis samples of 2d and 2e were recrystallizedonce again from ethanol and the composition of crystalsprecipitated first was analyzed by NMR We have found adifferent composition for 2d and 2e Therefore the differentisomer ratios showed that the obvious diastereoselectivityupon recrystallization from ethanol was due to differentsolubilities of the diastereomeric isomers in ethanol whichwas observed previously [29 30 39 40] and not related to anyremarkable favorable attack during ring closure Neverthelessfractional crystallization of the product from ethanol allowedfor an easy access to diastereomerically enriched 2b 2d and2e (Table 2)

4 Conclusions

The reaction of aryl 1198731015840-(substituted benzylidene)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide with 2-mercaptopropanoic acid produced

mixtures of unequal composition of two diastereomeric119873-[2-(aryl)-5-methyl-4-oxo-13-thiazolidine-3-yl]-pyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives which were differentiated by 1HNMR spectra The configurations of C-2 and C-5 stereogeniccenters of thiazolidin-4-one ring for the major and theminor diastereomers have been found via one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy Four stereoisomers ofcompounds 2b and 2c were resolved by chiral HPLC

626 ppm and 410 ppm in 2D NOESY spectrum indicatedthe spatial proximity of C-2 and C-5 methine hydrogens ofthemajor diastereomer (Figure 7(a)) Cross peaks at 152 ppmand 786 ppmalso revealed thatC-6methyl and the hydrogensof the aryl ring [42 43] of the major diastereomer arein close proximity (Figure 7(b)) These observations wereconsistent with the 2R 5S or 2S 5R configurations Similarlyfor the minor diastereomer cross peaks between the signalsof C-6 methyl and C-2 methine hydrogens were observed(Figure 7(c)) A NOESY correlation between C-5 methineand aromatic protons (Figure 7(d)) further confirmed thatthe configurations of C-2 and C-5 positions of the minordiastereomer were 2S 5S or 2R 5R Since the spectra of2andash2f have the feature in common by analogy it could beconcluded that all the deshielded signals of C-5 methinebelong to 2S 5S or 2R 5R stereoisomer (Table 1) Based onthese results the configurations of C-2 and C-5 centers of themajor and minor diastereomers are given in Table 2

The diastereomeric isomer ratios of compounds 2b and2c obtained by the integration of the 1H NMR signals havebeen found identical with those obtained by HPLC analysisTherefore with the knowledge of the configurations of the C-2 and C-5 centers of the major and minor diastereomers of2b and 2c the HPLC peaks (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)) markedby ldquoclubsrdquo could be assigned to 2S 5R or 2R 5S (major) and theothers to 2S 5S or 2R 5R (minor)

In order to determine the reason of the diastereoselectiv-ity of the synthesis samples of 2d and 2e were recrystallizedonce again from ethanol and the composition of crystalsprecipitated first was analyzed by NMR We have found adifferent composition for 2d and 2e Therefore the differentisomer ratios showed that the obvious diastereoselectivityupon recrystallization from ethanol was due to differentsolubilities of the diastereomeric isomers in ethanol whichwas observed previously [29 30 39 40] and not related to anyremarkable favorable attack during ring closure Neverthelessfractional crystallization of the product from ethanol allowedfor an easy access to diastereomerically enriched 2b 2d and2e (Table 2)

4 Conclusions

The reaction of aryl 1198731015840-(substituted benzylidene)pyridine-3-carbohydrazide with 2-mercaptopropanoic acid produced

mixtures of unequal composition of two diastereomeric119873-[2-(aryl)-5-methyl-4-oxo-13-thiazolidine-3-yl]-pyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives which were differentiated by 1HNMR spectra The configurations of C-2 and C-5 stereogeniccenters of thiazolidin-4-one ring for the major and theminor diastereomers have been found via one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy Four stereoisomers ofcompounds 2b and 2c were resolved by chiral HPLC
