A domino one–potsynthesis of 2-(trifluoromethyl) benzothiazole via copper–mediated three–component cascade reaction starting from the easily accessible starting materials such as o-iodoanilines, methyl trifluoropyruvate, and elemental sulfur is reported. The present strategy displayed a comprehensive substrate scope and good functional group tolerance and enabled access to a variety of substituted
An efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of 2-trifluoromethylbenzothiazoles by the treatment of trifluoromethylimidoyl chlorides with sodium hydrosulfide hydrate using PdCl(2) as the sole catalyst in DMSO is described. The reaction proceeds via thiolation/C H bond functionalization/C S bond formation in moderate to high yields with good functional group tolerance.
Switching reaction pathways of trifluoromethylated thiobenzanilides by choice of different oxidative systems
Trifluoromethylated thiobenzanilides are efficiently converted to 2-trifluoromethylbenzothiazoles via intramolecular oxidative cyclization under CAN/NaHCO(3) oxidation, while the dimerized products with "-S-S-" bond linkage are obtained when PIDA is used as an oxidant.
