Abstract
The condensation products of rhodanine, 3-ethylrhodanine, 3-phenylrhodanine, 3-allylrhodanine and 3-carboxymethylrhodanine with various substituted and unsubstituted pyridine and quinoline aldehydes have been prepared for bacterial and fungicidal evaluation. An earlier series of unsubstituted pyridylmethylene-rhodanines has thus been extended to include products substituted in either or both of the heterocyclic rings. Such substitution may enhance the already known fungicidal character of such rhodanine-aldehyde condensation products. The products obtained by the condensation of the quinoline aldehydes may be considered as substituted in a similar manner as the less accessible dialkylpyridine products and it is possible that these two types of compounds will show a similarity in biological activity. Condensations between the rhodanines and the aldehydes were carried out in acid medium and crystalline coloured condensation products were obtained in good yield.
