AbstractTwo efficient methods for the amination of 2‐halothiazoles are presented here. A first protocol requires a Pd/L system. Several 2‐aminothiazoles were synthesized under optimized conditions and isolated in good yields. The first palladium‐catalyzed CN coupling reactions between 2‐halothiazoles and primary alkylamines are presented. In a second part, ligand‐free copper‐catalyzed aminations of 2‐halothiazoles by alkylamines and aniline in a green solvent have been developed. The protocol is very effective for primary and secondary amines and perfectly tolerates the presence of another halide moiety on the 2‐halothiazole. The reaction occurs under the assistance of microwave irradiation, which drastically decreases the reaction time. The reaction leads to the formation of 2‐aminothiazoles, key molecules in pharmaceutical research.magnified image

AbstractColoured disubstituted benzoquinonimine trimeric structures are obtained as main reaction products of the oxidation of p‐electron donor primary aromatic amines using two different laccases, CotA‐laccase from Baccilus subtilus and TvL from Trametes versicolor. These orange‐red to purple products, presenting high molar extinction coefficients, presumably result from oxidative homocoupling reactions, through the formation of NC bonds at positions 2 and 5, of the laccase oxidised intermediate as showed in the proposed oxidative pathway. The product of 1,4‐phenylenediamine is shown to be the trimer known as Bandrowski’s base which has an established role in hair and fur dyeing. Our results also show that the occurrence and/or rates of oxidation of aromatic amines are strongly dependent on the presence of p‐electron releasing substituents in the aromatic ring and are independent on the properties of the enzyme used. Overall our data contribute for (i) understanding key features of laccase reactivity with p‐substituted aromatic amines and (ii) establishing enzymatic processes that lead to the synthesis of coloured bio‐products under mild conditions with potential impact in the cosmetic and dye industries.magnified image
