Abstract

Abstract A new method for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzothiazoles by the reaction of dibenzyl disulfides with o-aminothiophenol is suggested. A possible mechanism of the new transformation is discussed. 2-Phenylbenzothiazole can also be prepared by reactions of o- aminothiophenol with benzyl mercaptane or sodium benzyl thiosulfate.
