Substituted thiazoles are widely known as natural products, approved drugs, and a number of synthetic compounds as bioactive agents. Due to the worth of this heterocycle nucleus, a large number of synthetic methodologies have been reported over the years to synthesize its derivatives. In this perspective, recent advances in the synthesis of thiazole compounds by using domino/cascade and multicomponent approaches have been summarized.
Keywords: Domino/cascade reaction, multicomponent reaction, thiazole, thiazoline, fused-thiazole, anticancer, thiazolo-androstenone, isothiazole.
