N-Iodosuccinimide involved one-pot metal-free synthesis of 2-heteroaromatic benzothiazole compounds†
Abstract
A one-pot protocol for the synthesis of structurally diverse 2-hetarylbenzothiazoles via oxidative condensation of the sp3 C–H bond with benzothiazoles has been described. This process is metal free and operationally simple. A series of 2-hetarylbenzothiazoles were prepared in moderate to good yield under mild conditions.
