Decomposition of 2-(2-azidophenyl)- and 2-(3-azidophenyl)-benzothiazoles in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid generates ?-carbocations.These reactive intermediates have been trapped by triflate anion with the nucleophile substituting para to the original azido group to yield triflate-substituted arylamines. 2-(4-Azidophenyl)-benzothiazoles and -benzoxazoles behave differently: triflate-substituted arylamines are accompanied by symmetrical or unsymmetrical benzazolyl-substituted 2,2'-diaminobiphenyls as major products.These biphenyls have been identified by their characteristic 1H and 13C NMR spectra. 2,2'-Diaminobiphenyls are formed by initial C-C coupling interactions between the ?-carbocations and undecomposed 2-(4-azidophenyl)benzazoles and not by benzidine-type rearrangements as originally proposed.Symmetrical 2,2'-diaminobiphenyls have been oxidized by (diacetoxyiodo) benzene to give novel benzazolyl-substituted benzocinnolines.

The ?-carbocation reactive species generated by decomposition of 2-(4-azidophenyl)benzothiazoles in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid undergo intermolecular C-C or N-N coupling to afford benzothiazole-substituted 2,2'-diaminobiphenyls.
