Two efficient methods for the amination of 2-halothiazoles are presented here. A first protocol requires a Pd/L system. Several 2-aminothiazoles were synthesized under optimized conditions and isolated in good yields. The first palladium-catalyzed C-N coupling reactions between 2-halothiazoles and primary alkylamines are presented. In a second part, ligand-free copper-catalyzed aminations of 2-halothiazoles by alkylamines and aniline in a green solvent have been developed. The protocol is very effective for primary and secondary amines and perfectly tolerates the presence of another halide moiety on the 2-halothiazole. The reaction occurs under the assistance of microwave irradiation, which drastically decreases the reaction time. The reaction leads to the formation of 2-aminothiazoles, key molecules in pharmaceutical research. Copyright

Coloured disubstituted benzoquinonimine trimeric structures are obtained as main reaction products of the oxidation of p-electron donor pri-mary aromatic amines using two different laccases, CotA-laccase from Baccilus subtilus and TvL from Trametes versicolor. These orange-red to purple products, presenting high molar extinction coeffi-cients, presumably result from oxidative homocou-pling reactions, through the formation of N-C bonds at positions 2 and 5, of the laccase oxidised inter-mediate as showed in the proposed oxidative path-way. The product of 1,4-phenylenediamine is shown to be the trimer known as Bandrowski's base which has an established role in hair and fur dyeing. Our results also show that the occurrence and/or rates of oxidation of aromatic amines are strongly dependent on the presence of p-electron releasing substituents in the aromatic ring and are independent on the properties of the enzyme used. Overall our data con-tribute for (i) understanding key features of laccase reactivity with p-substituted aromatic amines and (ii) establishing enzymatic processes that lead to the syn-thesis of coloured bio-products under mild condi-tions with potential impact in the cosmetic and dye industries.
