Metal-Free Synthesis of 2-Aminobenzothiazoles via Iodine-Catalyzed and Oxygen-Promoted Cascade Reactions of Isothiocyanatobenzenes with Amines

In this paper, a highly efficient and sustainable synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazoles through the cascade reactions of isothiocyanatobenzenes with primary or secondary amines by using iodine as a catalyst and oxygen as an oxidant is presented. Mechanistically, the formation of the title compounds involves the in situ formation of the required benzothiourea intermediate followed by its intramolecular cross dehydrogenative coupling of a C(sp2)-H bond and a S-H bond. To our knowledge, this should be the first example in which 2-aminobenzothiazoles are efficiently prepared from simple and cheap isothiocyanates and amines under metal-free conditions by using iodine as a catalyst and molecular oxygen as an oxidant with water as the byproduct. Compared with literature protocols, this method eliminates the use of ortho-halo-substituted precursors, expensive transition-metal catalysts, and hazardous oxidants.

Synthesis method of 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds

The invention discloses a preparation method of 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds. The 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds is prepared from the following steps of dissolving phenyl/naphthalene isothiocyanateand primary amine into a solvent, adding a catalyst iodine and an oxidant, carrying out one-pot multi-step tandem reaction to prepare the 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds under the temperature of 80 to 150 DEG C. The synthesis method has the advantages that raw materials are cheap and easily available, the reaction condition is mild, the substrate application range is broad, atom economy is high, requirements of green chemical are met, and a novel method which is economical and practical and green and environmentally friendly is provided for synthesis of the 2-aminobenzothiazole compounds.
