Thiazolidinediones are very important and used as a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Here, we report a convenient approach to synthesis 3-m-tolyl-5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones (TZDs) derivatives 7a-e in two steps with moderate to good yield using morpholine as a catalyst. All the structures were confirmed by their spectral IR, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR data. The anti-diabatic activity of all synthesized molecules is evaluated by docking with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). Preliminary flexible docking studies reveals that our compounds 7a , 7d and 7e showed better binding affinity with the protein and could be a potential candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in near future.
