A clay-mediated, regioselective synthesis of 2-(aryl/alkyl)amino-thiazolo[4,5-c]carbazoles
摘要:
The 3-aminocarbazoles la-e were condensed with phenyl and benzyl isothiocyanates on montmorillonite K10 clay or TLC-grade silica gel at room temperature to furnish efficiently the N-phenyl and N-benzylthioureidocarbazoles, 2a-e and 2f, respectively. within minutes. When adsorbed on montmorillonite K 10 clay impregnated with para-toluene sulfonic acid (1:1, w/w) and heated at 60-70degreesC. 2a-e and 2f furnished the 2-anilino and 2-benzylaminothiazolo[4,5-c]carbazoles, 3a-e and 3f, respectively, regioselectively in high yields. The cyclisation was also effective for the N-methylthioureidocarbazoles 2g-i. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
