The direct amination reaction of heterocyclic thiols has been developed in the presence of the nonhazardous photocatalyst Rose Bengal under irradiation of visible light. The reaction provides a straightforward approach to pharmaceutically and synthetically useful 2-aminobenzoxazole and 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives from the corresponding heterocyclic thiols with amines in good to excellent yields
a developed amination process. The reaction was completed in an hour at 100–150 °C in a microwave reactor without the use of external catalyst or additive. Key benefits of this process include an on-water reaction, short reaction time, being scalable and catalyst-free, and use of 2-mercaptobenzoxazoles as an inexpensive starting material having low environmental impact in its preparation.

The direct and regioselective N-alkylation of amino-azoles to the corresponding 2-N-(alkylamino)azoles using various alcohols as alkylating agents with good to excellent yields has been accomplished by an iridium complex/base system.
