Metal-free isocyanide insertion reaction to benzothiazolyl urea derivatives
An efficient iodine-catalyzed reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole and isocyanides for the synthesis of benzothiazolyl urea derivatives via a metal-freeisocyanide insertion reaction is reported. Introducing a simple method for the synthesis of desired benzothiazolyl urea skeletons and use of more acceptable iodine molecule instead of expensive transition metal catalysts are the most important advantages
