“…In addition, they represent one of the most promising antiamyloid therapies for treatment of a number of a heterogeneous family of diseases referred to generically as amyloidosis, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), type II diabetes, variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, painful joints associated with long term hemodialysis and rare cases of hereditary insomnia. 5,6 In general, benzothiazoles are synthesized by condensation of 2-aminothiophenol with carboxylic acid derivatives, 7 the base induced cyclization of the corresponding 2 haloanilides, 8 or the radical cyclization of thioacylbenzanilides. 9 On the other hand, the most general synthetic approaches for 2-aryl benzothiazoles involves: (i) arylation of benzothiazole with aryl bromides at 150 ο C in a sealed tube catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2, Cs2CO3 and CuBr with t-Bu 3 P as ligand, 10 or Suzuki biaryl-coupling of 2-bromobenzothiazole with aryl boronic acids, 11 (ii) oxidative cyclisation of phenolic Schiff's bases derived from the condensation of 2-aminothiophenols and aldehydes using various oxidants such as Sc(OTf)3 using molecular oxygen, 12 pyridinium chlorochromate 13 and very recently via electrooxidation, 14 a modification of such strategy that involves flash vacuum pyrolysis and photolysis of 2-methylthio-N (arenylidene)anilines has been reported, 15 (iii) condensation of 2-aminothiophenols with carboxylic acids under microwave irradiation 16 or with polymer-bound esters in the presence of a Lewis acid, 17 (iv) direct condensation of 2-aminothiophenol with aromatic aldehydes, 18,19 under microwave-irradiation.…”
