Nitro-Methyl Redox Coupling: Efficient Approach to 2-Hetarylbenzothiazoles from 2-Halonitroarene, Methylhetarene, and Elemental Sulfur
摘要:
A simple, straightforward, and atom economic approach to 2-hetarylbenzothiazoles starting from 2-halonitroarene, methylhetarene, and elemental sulfur under mild conditions is described. The method is highlighted by the direct redox nitro-methyl reaction for carbon-nitrogen bond formation without an added oxidizing or reducing agent.
Benzoxazoles, benzothiazoles and benzimidazoles having substituents on the azole and benzene nuclei were synthesized evaluated for antifungal, insecticidal and herbicidal activities. It was found that benzimidazoles tended to exhibit antifungal activity while benzothiazoles tended to show herbicidal activity. Chloro, trifluoromethyl, methoxy and ethoxy groups at the 5 position were potent substituents, and the 2-pyridyl group at the 2 position is a common structural unit. Among several active derivatives, 7-chloro-2-(2-pyridyl) benzimidazole and 2-(2-pyridyl)-5-trifluoromethylbenzothiazole exhibited significant activity against Panonycus citri.

A novel solvent-free and catalyst-free synthesis of benzothiazoles from 2-chloronitrobenzene, elemental sulfur, and aliphatic amine has been developed. The reaction tolerated a wide range of functionalities, and various benzothiazoles were synthesized in moderate to good yields in the absence of external oxidant or reductant. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
