2-Chloropyridine (I) was condensed with (S)-prolinol (II) to furnish the pyridinylpyrrolidine (III). Subsequent alkylation of the hydroxyl group of (III) with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (IV) using NaH in hot DMF gave ether (V). Knoevenagel condensation of (V) with 2,4-thiazolidinedione (VI) in the presence of benzoic acid and piperidine afforded the required benzylidene thiazolidine, which was finally treated with maleic acid in acetone to yield the title maleate salt.
