Treatment of 4,5-bis(dlbromomethyl)thiazole (1a) with sodium iodide in DMF led to 4,5-bis(bromomethylene)-4,5-dihydrothiazole (2a). Trapping the latter in situ with dienophiles afforded directly the aromatized cycloadducts. Starting with 5-hydroxynaphthoquinone or its 2- and 3-bromo derivatives 6 gave a mixture of the tetracyclic quinones 10 + 11 from which the 1,6-regioisomer 10 predominates. Using acrylate dienophiles gave 6-substituted benzothiazoles 13 as the major products. The regiochemistry of the cycloadditions between 2a and naphthoquinones 6 agrees with the predictions of the frontier molecular orbital theory. In contrast, the regioselectivity observed from 2a and acrylate dienophiles 12, similar to that previously obtained with 5-bromomethylene-4-methylene-4,5-dihydrothiazole (2b), is opposite to that predicted and could be better accomodated by a competitive Michael addition followed by a cyclization-elimination step.

The present invention relates generally to the field of ligands for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), activation of nAChRs, and the treatment of disease conditions associated with defective or malfunctioning nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, especially of the brain. Further, this invention relates to novel compounds (indazoles and benzothiazoles), which act as ligands for the α7 nAChR subtype, methods of preparing such compounds, compositions containing such compounds, and methods of use thereof.
