Abstract

CDI combined with CH3SO3H was found to be highly effective for the cyclization of 2-aminothiophenol derivatives with carboxylic acids under MW condition. Fourteen benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized in good yield and their structures were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13CNMR, IR and mass spectrometry. This simple, rapid synthetic method is believed to provide a useful process for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazole compounds.

Keywords: 2-substituted benzothiazoles, CDI/CH3SO3H, 2-aminothiophenol, microwave irradiation, room temperature, mass spectrometry.
