Abstract: 1-(Acridin-9-yl)-3-disubstituted thioureas react with methyl bromoacetate and bromoacetonitrile, respectively, depending on a substituent bulkiness, to polyfunctionally substituted (acridin-9-yl)imino-l, 3-thiazolidin-4-ones and spiro[9,10-dihydroacridine-9,4'-thiazolidines]. Reactions represent the simple and convenient way to synthesize the title compounds with possible antibacterial activity. Based on their spectral data, the structure of products is discussed.
