“…Based on Hantzsch concept, some newer methods, such as cycloaddition of tosylmethyl isocyanide to thione derivatives (Bergstrom et al, 1994), oxidation of thiazoline and thiazolidine ring systems (Martin & Hu, 1999), the Ugi reaction (Kazmaier & Ackermann, 2005) and others (Mustafa et al, 2004), have been developed. Other methodologies developed include Pd-mediated coupling process (Sapountzis et al, 2005;Lipshutz et al, 2004;Nicolaou et al, 1999), nucleophilic reactions of Lithiothiazoles (Dondoni, 1998), solid supported synthesis to generate small organic molecule libraries (Kazzouli et al, 2002) and solution phase preparation of 2-aminothiazole combinatorial libraries (Bailey et al, 1996). Many of these synthetic methods involve the use of hazardous organic solvents, high temperatures, longer reaction times or lower yields.…”
