Treatment of benzothiazole with trimethylsilyl cyanide and an acid chloride in CH2Cl2 gives the N-acyl-2-cyano-2,3-dihydrobenzothiazole in good yield; benzoxazole similarly is converted into a five-membered ring Reissert compound, providing the first exam

Reissert compounds have been prepared in high yield from benzothiazole by use of trimethylsilyl cyanide as source of cyanide in a single phase system.Analogues have been made from benzoxazole, indazole and 1-methylindazole but the method was unsuccessful with 1,2-benzisoxazole and pyrazole.Conjugate base alkylation followed by removal of the Reissert grouping provides a route to 2-alkylbenzothiazoles and -benzoxazoles, and 3-alkylated indazoles.Efficient access to pyridobenzothiazole and benzothiazoloisoquinoline derivatives results from appropriate intramolecular cyclisations.A crystal structure determination of 3-benzoyl-2,3-dihydro-2-benzothiazolecarbonitrile is reported.
