A Metal-Free Synthesis of 2-Aminobenzothiazoles Through Aminyl Radical Addition to Aryl Isothiocyanates.
2016
A convenient synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazoles, starting from aryl isothiocyanates and formamides under metal-free conditions, is described. Various secondary and tertiary amine- and even α-amino acid-derived formamides can be used as amino sources in this process. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction is initiated by decarbonylative aminyl radical formation in the presence of n-Bu4NI and TBHP, followed by aminyl radical addition to isothiocyanates and cyclization via sulfur centred radical intermediates.
