The synthesis of a series of aminoethylbiphenyls as novel 5-HT(7) receptor ligands is described. The novel derivatives exhibit high affinity for the 5-HT(7) receptor with selectivity toward 5-HT(1A) receptor.

2-Alkylidenethiazolidine-4,5-diones were prepared by novel one-pot cyclizations of arylacetonitriles with isothiocyanates and ethyl 2-chloro-2-oxoacetate. The products show antibiotic activity against the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.
