A highly practical method for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazoles has been developed through an iron-catalyzed tandemreaction. The present tandem process allows the assembly of a wide range of 2-aminobenzothiazoles by the reactions of 2-halobenzenamines with isothiocyanates.
The 1,10-phenanthroline-catalyzedtandemreaction of 2-iodoaniline with isothiocyanate in water is described, which provides an environmentally benign, efficient and simple route for the preparation of 2-aminobenzothiazoles. The present tandem process shows broad substrate scope in the absence of transition metals and phase-transfer catalysts.
