Elemental sulfur as a polyvalent reagent in redox condensation with: O -chloronitrobenzenes and benzaldehydes: Three-component access to 2-arylbenzothiazoles

Sulfur was found to be a polyvalent reagent in the multicomponent redox condensation with o-chloronitrobenzenes and benzaldehydes. 2-Arylbenzothiazoles was obtained in moderate to good yields in a highly atom-economical pathway.

Photocatalyst- And Transition-Metal-Free Visible-Light-Promoted Intramolecular C(sp2)-S Formation

A photocatalyst- and transition-metal-free visible-light-induced cyclization of ortho-halothiobenzanilides has been developed. Upon irradiation with visible light, substrates undergo dehalogenative cyclization to 2-aryl benzothiazoles with high efficiency and selectivity. This photocyclization exhibits a high tolerance to various functional groups, is applicable for the synthesis of 2-alkyl benzothiazoles, and is easy to set up for gram-scale reaction.

Riboflavin as Photoredox Catalyst in the Cyclization of Thiobenzanilides: Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzothiazoles

Benzothiazoles are synthesized from thiobenzanilides using riboflavin as a photosensitizer and potassium peroxydisulfate as a sacrificial oxidizing agent under visible light irradiation. The methodology accepts a broad range of functional groups and affords the 2-substituted benzothiazoles by transition-metal-free organic photoredox catalysis under very mild conditions.
