Description

2-Thiazolidinone (CAS 2682-49-7 ) is a sulfur-nitrogen heterocyclic building block used in pharmaceutical synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. Oxothiazolidine is a recognized alternative name encountered in research and procurement contexts. Its primary commercial role is as a reactive intermediate and polymerization initiator in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and advanced materials. In pharmaceutical development, it serves as a key scaffold for synthesizing biologically active compounds. This includes antimicrobial and enzyme-inhibitor candidates at the API intermediate stage. Medicinal chemistry programs use it to construct thiazolidinone-based drug candidates, where the ring system is incorporated directly into the final molecular structure. In polymer chemistry, it functions as a polymerization initiator, enabling controlled synthesis of specialty polymers used in biomedical and industrial applications. Biotechnology researchers also employ it as a synthetic precursor in the preparation of reagents. 2-Thiazolidinone is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is available in research quantities through to multi-kilogram commercial lots, with purity grades typically ranging from 97% to 99%+ to meet fine chemical requirements. Material is generally offered under technical and high-purity specifications suited to GMP-aligned procurement workflows. This ensures the product meets the rigorous demands of modern pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing processes. Contact us for supply of 2-Thiazolidinone Request Quote
