focus on their unsubstituted ring counterparts. Here we describe a new concise and efficient synthetic route to biologically relevant 2-phenylbenzothiazoles in high yield from the reaction of substituted 2-aminothiophenol disulfides and benzaldehydes, promoted by the inexpensive and non-toxic inorganic oxidant sodiummetabisulfite in DMSO at 120 °C. Our new method is tolerant of a range of substituents
A mild and efficient substrate-assisted CHbond cyanation of 2-arylbenzothiazoles has been developed using CuCN as cyano-group source. The reaction exhibits broad functional groups tolerance giving the desired products in moderate to excellent yields. Regioselective cyanation was in favor of the less sterically hindered position to those meta-substituted substrate.
