Microwave Promoted Environmentally Benign Synthesis of 2-Aminobenzothiazoles and Their Urea Derivatives
摘要:
2-Aminobenzothiazoles were efficiently synthesized using stable, crystalline tetrabutylammonium tribromide instead of toxic, corrosive liquid bromine under solvent-free and microwave irradiation condition. Furthermore, benzothiazol-2-ylureas were synthesized in good to high yield by reactions of 2-aminobenzothiazoles with N-trichloroacetanilides, which were used as a substitute for toxic, unstable isocyanates, under microwave irradiation condition. This protocol has advantages of no utilization of hazardous chemicals, rapid reaction rate, high yield, and easy work-up procedure.
