Abstract

Abstract A new and easy synthetic route to 2-phenylbenzothiazoles has been achieved by direct thiation of benzoyl derivatives of aniline, various substituted anilines, and 1- naphthylamine under microwave irradiation. The oxidative cyclization using elemental sulfur in the presence of a catalytic amount of iodine is inexpensive and worked well for a number of anilides.
