Abstract

Certain 2-phenylbenzothiazoles containing substituents on the benzothiazole ring possess important biological properties, yet the majority of synthetic methods to 2- phenylbenzothiazoles described to date focus on their unsubstituted ring counterparts. Here we describe a new concise and efficient synthetic route to biologically relevant 2- phenylbenzothiazoles in high yield from the reaction of substituted 2-aminothiophenol ...
