Convenient Synthesis of 2-Alkynylbenzazoles Through Sonogashira Cross--Coupling Reaction Between Thioethers and Terminal Alkynes. -The coupling reaction proceeds under aerobic conditions with aromatic and aliphatic alkynes to give 2-alkynyl substituted benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles. Furthermore, optimized conditions are developed for the desulfinative cross-coupling reaction of 2-mercaptobenzthiazoles (VIII) and benzoxazole (IX). -(PAUN, A.; MATACHE, M.; ENACHE, F.; NICOLAU, I.; PARASCHIVESCU, C.
