Carbonyl sulfide (COS), whose molecular structure is similar to CO2 and CS2, could be used as a better alternative carbonyl reagent due to its high chemical activity. However, the unfriendly by-product H2S would be generated when COS is used as a carbonyl reagent in the carbonylation reaction. In this report, the odorless and stable disulfide was used to replace the traditional foul smelling and unstable o-aminobenzenethiol to react with COS for preparing benzothiazolone derivatives in excellent yield, in which coupling reaction of H2S generation and S–S bond cleavage was firstly designed. Notably, the C=O of COS was converted into benzothiazolone derivatives by carbonylation reaction and the sulfur of COS was transformed into sulfur and sulfide after cleaving the S–S bond by a domino reaction of disulfide and COS under mild conditions. This efficient synthetic methodology provided a promising process for the utilization of COS.

The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing benzothiazolone-based and 1,3-disubstituted urea-based derivatives through activation of CO2. According to the present invention, an inexpensive and easily-available sulfur-containing metal salt compound is first used as an activation catalyst for CO2, and a reaction raw material and CO2 are converted into a corresponding target compound at a low reaction temperature under a low CO2 pressure; and the method has high atomic economy, can reduce the generation of by-products, meets the standards of environmental friendliness and environmentally friendly chemistry, and is the effective way capable of completely utilizing CO2 as the renewable resource, developing new energy and achieving the beneficial cycle of carbon in nature.

Developing eco-friendly, stable, and easy-to-handle acyl sources is of great importance in synthetic and green chemistry. This study describes the synthesis of benzo[d]azol-2(3H)-ones such as benzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-ones, benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-ones, and benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-ones using 2-phenoxycarbonyl-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one in one pot. The reaction reported is carried out under neutral or acidic conditions in the presence of zinc or sodium bicarbonate to give the corresponding heterocycles in good to excellent yields. The reaction uses a solid stable carbonyl source that is a recyclable functional-group carrier, pyridazin-3(2H)-one.
