• Plasmodium has been developed and is reported in the literature [24]. Results and Discussion The vinylic SN reaction of 2-nitroperchlorobutadiene (1) with four equivalents of the azoles such as 1H-pyrazole, 1H-1,2,4-triazole, or 1H-benzotriazole affords similarly to [25] the corresponding 1,1

Oxidation of sulfane 9d led to the formation of the pharmacologically interesting sulfoxide 10d. The newly

Keywords: atropisomers; cyclization; 2-nitroperchlorobutadiene; 1H-pyrazoles; thiazolidin-4-ones; Introduction Preliminary studies in the field of polyhalogenated nitrobutadienes have already shown the enormous potential of pentachloro-2-nitro-1,3-butadiene

• :1 ratio (Scheme 7). Conclusion A two-step synthesis of 2-allylidene-N-arylthiazolidinones 7–18 has been developed, starting from our building block 2-nitroperchlorobutadiene (1), 2-mercaptoacetates 2 and 4, and anilines. Inclusion of o- or m-substituted N-aryl groups leads to the formation of stable
