3-(2 0 -Benzothiazolyl)-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one, 1-((benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino) (aryl)-methyl)naphthalen-2-ol and 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazoles derivatives were prepared via one-pot three-component reaction of arylaldehydes, 2-aminobenzothiazole and isatoic anhydride or b-naphthol or ethyl/methyl acetoacetate in the presence of agar as a highly efficient homogenous catalyst. The use of a non-toxic and biodegradable catalyst, as well as high yields, short reaction time, simple work-up and green conditions are the most important advantages of this method.Keywords 3-(2 0 -Benzothiazolyl)-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones Á 1-((Benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)(aryl)-methyl)naphthalen-2-ol Á 4H-pyrimido [2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole Á Agar Á Green chemistry
