Thiocyanation and 2-Amino-1,3-thiazole Formation in Water Using Recoverable and Reusable Glycosylated Resorcin[4]arene Cavitands

A family of three spatially directional resorcin[4]arene cavitand glycoconjugates (RCGs) have been applied as efficient recoverable and reusable inverse phase transfer catalysts for eco- A nd environmentally friendly thiocyanation and 2-amino-1,3-thiazole formation reactions in water. The results show that RCGs (1 mol %) were capable of hosting and catalyzing various water-insoluble bromo/thiocyanato substrates in water without the use of any co-organic solvents. The recoverability and reusability of RCG catalytic systems, that is, RCG1 and RCG3, were also examined upon a simple extraction of the desired products using DCM or ethyl acetate, followed by subjecting the recovered aqueous solution containing the RCG catalysts to the next reaction cycles.

CuBr2 mediated synthesis of 2-Aminothiazoles from dithiocarbamic acid salts and ketones

In a one-pot procedure, CuBr2 has been used as a efficient desulfurizing agent in the synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles by the condensation of in situ-generated 1-substituted thioureas from their dithiocarbamic acid salts, with in situ-generated α-bromoketones from ketones. All reactions were carried out under optimized reaction conditions and gave the target products in 61–95% yield.

Aryliodoazide synthons: A different approach for diversified synthesis of 2-aminothiazole, 1,3-thiazole, and 1,3-selenazole scaffolds

Several straightforward and practical processes have been established for the construction of 2-aminothiazoles, 1,3-thiazoles and 1,3-selenazoles from aryliodoazides. These strategies successfully proceed with a wide spectrum of substituted thioamides and its derivatives producing the resulting five-membered heterocycles obtained in satisfactory yields. The unique features of these protocols are operational simplicity and highly functional group tolerance, which make them convenient and practical routes for the preparation of various libraries of 2-aminothiazoles, 1,3-thiazoles, and 1,3-selenazoles.

Highly efficient heterogeneous copper-catalysed coupling of oxime acetates with isothiocyanates leading to 2-aminothiazoles

The heterogeneous coupling reaction of oxime acetates with isothiocyanates was achieved at 110°C in toluene in air in the presence of a bidentate nitrogen-functionalised MCM-41-immobilised copper(I) complex (MCM-41-2N-CuI) with Cs2CO3 as base to afford a variety of 2-aminothiazoles in good yields. The MCM-41-2N-CuI catalyst can be easily recovered by a simple filtration and reused at least eight times without significant loss of activity.

Copper-Catalyzed Coupling of Oxime Acetates with Isothiocyanates: A Strategy for 2-Aminothiazoles

A new strategy for 2-aminothiazoles is developed via the copper-catalyzed coupling of oxime acetates with isothiocyanates. Various 4-substituted and 4,5-disubstituted 2-aminothiazoles were formed smoothly under mild reaction conditions. This process involved copper-catalyzed N-O bond cleavage, activation of vinyl sp2 C-H bonds, and C-S/C-N bond formations. It is noteworthy that the oxime acetates were used not only as a substrate but also as a single oxidant.

Carbon tetrabromide mediated oxidative cyclocondensation of ketones and thioureas: An easy access to 2-aminothiazoles

A simple, mild, and efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of substituted 2-aminothiazoles has been reported. The reaction involves the formation of sulfenyl bromide as an umpolung intermediate of nucleophilic sulfur, which is responsible for C-S bond formation leading to oxidative cyclization of ketones and thioureas to furnish the desired products. Carbon tetrabromide was used as a convenient and mild brominating reagent under basic condition at room temperature to give 2-aminothiazoles in good to excellent yields.

Design, synthesis and investigation on the structure-activity relationships of N-substituted 2-aminothiazole derivatives as antitubercular agents

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest infectious diseases of all times, and its recent resurgence is a supreme matter of concern. Co-infection with HIV and, in particular, the continuous isolation of new resistant strains, makes the discovery of novel anti-TB agents a strategic priority. The research of novel agents should be driven by the accessibility of the synthetic procedure and, in particular, by the lack of cross-resistance with the drugs already marketed. Moreover, in order to shorten the duration of the therapy, and therefore decrease the rate of resistance, these molecules should be active also against the nonreplicating persistent form (NRP-TB) of the infection. The availability of an in-house small library of compounds prompted us to investigate their anti-TB activity. Two compounds, embodying a 2-aminothiazole scaffold, were found to possess a certain inhibitory activity toward Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and therefore a medicinal chemistry campaign was initiated in order to increase the activity of the hit compounds and, especially, construct a plausible body of structure-activity relationships. The potency of the hit compound was successfully improved, and, much more importantly, some of the molecules synthesized were found to be active toward the persistent phenotype, and, also, toward a panel of resistant strains. These findings encourage further investigations around this interesting antitubercular chemotype.

Eco-friendly synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles using Nafion-H as a recyclable catalyst in PEG-water solvent system

A simple, efficient, single step and environmentally benign synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles is described in this paper. This green protocol was catalyzed by recyclable solid supported Nafion-H using polyethylene glycol-water solvent system with improved efficiency and reduced waste production.
