Domino Alkylation-Cyclization Reaction of Propargyl Bromides with Thioureas/Thiopyrimidinones: A New Facile Synthesis of 2-Aminothiazoles and 5H-Thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones
A newsynthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones was developed as a domino alkylation-cyclization reaction of propargyl bromides with thioureas and thio¬pyrimidinones, respectively. Domino reactions were performed under microwave irradiation leading to desired compounds in a few minutes and high yields
A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and N-allylthioureas from commercially available materials in one pot by using a supported reagents system, KSCN/SiO2-RNH3OAc/Al2O3, in which alpha-halo ketone reacts first KSCN/SiO2 and the product, alpha.-thiocyanatoketone, reacts with RNH3OAc/Al2O3 to give the final product, 2-aminothiazoles, in good yield and allyl bromide reacts with KSCN/SiO2 and the product, allyl isothiocyanate, reacts with RNH3OAc/Al2O3 to give N-allylthiourea.
