Room-temperature synthesis of 4-alkyl/aryl-2-aminothiazoles from vinyl azides and ammonium thiocyanate was accomplished with the aid of copper salts and blue LED irradiation. Mechanism investigation indicates that in situ-formed Cu(NCS)2– plays dual important roles in the reaction: (1) as the photocatalyst to activate vinyl azides, (2) as the Lewis acid catalyst to promote ring opening of 2H-azirines
