An efficient synthesis of 1,3-thiazole drivatives is described via a three component reaction isothiocyanates, tetramethyl thiourea and ethyl bromopyruvate.

Erratum to “Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of platinum(II) complexes with thiourea derivative ligands” [Eur. J. Chem. 9 (4) (2018) 360-368].

Functionalized chiral tetrahydroquinolines were synthesized through supramolecular organocatalysis using quinidine-NH-thiourea 3c/L-phenylalanine 4i followed by reductive amination from the simple substrates.
