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.
The present invention relates to a compound represented by Formula (I):
(wherein Ar1 represents an imidazolyl group which may be substituted with 1 to 3 substituents; Ar2 represents a pyridinyl group, a pyrimidinyl group, or a phenyl group which may be substituted with 1 to 3 substituents; X1 represents (1) -C≡C- or (2) a double bond etc. which may be substituted; R1 and R2 represent, for example, a C1-6 alkyl group or C3-8 cycloalkyl group which may be substituted) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof and to the use thereof as pharmaceutical agents.
