Novel isothiocyanate transposition in 2-alkyliminothiazoles: a simple solution for regiochemical problem

Abstract

Novel alkyl/aryl transposition in the reaction of 2-iminothiazoles with alkyl/aryl isothiocyanates was found out, and the reaction was very easy to handle and gave good to excellent chemical yields. Moreover, transposition reaction provided a simple but excellent solution for regiochemical problems in 2-iminothiazole synthesis. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
