The triethylamine promoted stepwise 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of N-phenacylbenzothiazolium bromides with nitroalkenes in ethanol resulted in a mixture of two isomeric tetrahydrobenzo[d]pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazoles with cis/trans/cis- and all-trans-configurations. More importantly, the corresponding dihydrobenzo[d]pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazoles can be selectively prepared in refluxing ethanol and t...

A series of 5-(2'-indolyl)thiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against selected human cancer cell lines. The reaction of thioamides 3 with 3-tosyloxypentane-2,4-dione 4 led to in situ formation of 5-acetylthiazole 5 which upon treatment with arylhydrazines 6 in polyphosphoric acid resulted in the formation of 5-(2'-indolyl)thiazoles 2. Among the synthesized 5-(2'-indo...

Three different substituted thiazoles have been successfully synthesized from readily available propargylic alcohols. Various secondary propargylic alcohols or tertiary propargylic alcohols participated well in the reaction, providing the desired products in good yields. This method provides a flexible and rapid route to substituted thiazoles.

The synthesis of thiazoles and thiophenes starting from nitriles, via a modified Gewald reaction has been studied for a number of different substrates. 1,4-Dithiane-2,5-diol was used as the aldehyde precursor to give either 2-substituted thiazoles or 2-substituted aminothiophenes depending on the substitution of the α-carbon to the cyano group.

Abstract: Thiazole or 1,3-thiazole is a distinct heterocyclic compound which incorporates sulphur and nitrogen atoms. It vital framework present in numerous pharmacologically active compounds, be it of natural origin synthetic nature. Many thiazoles having antitumor antiviral activities, originate from microbes marine organisms. A variety drugs, thiazole group, like antimicrobial sulfathiazole,...

A silver nitrate-mediated, efficient phosphorylation of benzothiazoles and thiazoles with diarylphosphine oxides was developed. This process provides a convenient route for the synthesis of a variety of 2-diarylphosphoryl benzothiazoles and thiazoles which are promising precursors of a series of hemilabile P,N-ligands with small bite angles.

Thiazoles displayed broad range of biological activities and found in many potent biologically active molecules such as Sulfathiazol (antimicrobial drug), Ritonavir (antiretroviral drug), Abafungin (antifungal drug) and Tiazofurin (antineoplastic drug). So far, modifications of the thiazole ring have proven highly effective with improved potency and lesser toxicity. The present review highlight...

Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles are obtaind in excellent yields from the addition reaction between thiohydantoin and ethylbromopyruvate.  These imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles in the presence of p-TSA in boiling toluene refluxed for 2.5 hours led to imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole-3-carboxylates in elimination reactions

A wide range of 5-substituted thiazoles are easily accessible via cross coupling of thiazolyl triflates. These activated thiazoles can be obtained by Ugi reactions using thioacids (thio-Ugi-reaction) and subsequent cyclisation of the endo thiopeptides formed with triflic anhydride. In addition, cyclisations with acyl halides give rise to 5-acyloxysubstituted derivatives.

A novel and efficient method for the one-pot synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles from carboxylic acids or anhydrides is presented. Based on this new method, the total synthesis of the bis-2,4-disubstituted bis(thiazoles) natural product cystothiazole C is also presented.
