Elemental sulfur as a polyvalent reagent in redox condensation with o-chloronitrobenzenes and benzaldehydes: three-component access to 2-arylbenzothiazoles†
Abstract
Sulfur was found to be a polyvalent reagent in the multicomponent redox condensation with o-chloronitrobenzenes and benzaldehydes. 2-Arylbenzothiazoles was obtained in moderate to good yields in a highly atom-economical pathway.
