Abstract

A facile oxidative cyclization of β-ketothioamides for the simultaneous formation of a compound library similar to natural product benzothiazole derivatives has been developed. The oxidative cyclization of β-ketothioamides resulted in the simultaneous formation of four classes of previously unknown benzothiazole derivatives. This chemistry’s versatility adds a valuable component to the methodology for obtaining benzothiazole derivatives.

Keywords: β-ketothioamides, benzothiazole derivatives, chemistry’s versatility, cascade reaction, combinatorial chemistry, diversity-oriented synthesis, oxidative cyclisation, iIodine-catalysed.
