Abstract

An effective and convenient regioselective reduction of 5-benzylidene 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives to the corresponding 5-benzyl 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives has been accomplished using 3,5-dicarbethoxy-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (Hantzsch dihydropyridine ester : HEH) with silica gel as an acid catalyst in a good yield.
