“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The reported syntheses of 2-arylbenzothiazoles involve the condensation of 2-aminobenzenethiol with 4-substituted phenyl derivatives of nitrile, aldehyde, acid, acid chlorides or esters and by the use of Jacobson's cyclization of thiobenzanilides. [8][9][10] Other general methods include microwave mediated reaction of o-aminothiophenol with b-chlorocinnamaldehydes, reaction of dibenzyl disulfides with o-aminothiophenol, reduction of o,o%-dinitrodiphenyl disulfide, reaction of S-aryl thiobenzoate with arylhaloamines, from 1,2,3-benzodithiazole-2-oxides, radical cyclization of benzyne intermediates and Grignard reactions of arylisothiocyanates.…”
