Copper-catalyzed synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazoles from 2-iodophenyl isocyanides, potassium sulfide and amines†
Abstract
A simple and practically useful synthetic method for the synthesis of a variety of 2-aminobenzothiazoles was developed. This methodology could construct one C–N bond and two C–S bonds in a step reaction and provide the desired products in good to perfect yields.
