Abstract

Abstract Image

A new, mild, and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles via the intramolecular cyclization of thioformanilides by using hypervalent iodine reagents in CH2Cl2 at ambient temperature. The reaction proceeds via a thiyl radical in high yields to give the novel compound oxybis benzothiazole and is also amenable to generating combinatorial libraries of heterocyclic compounds by solid-phase synthesis.
