P. Stanetty et B. Krumpak, NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF BENZOTHIAZOLE DERIVATIVES VIA DIRECTED LITHIATION AND ARYNE-MEDIATED CYCLIZATION FOLLOWED BY QUENCHING WITH ELECTROPHILES, Journal of organic chemistry, 61(15), 1996, pp. 5130-5133
A series of benzothiazole derivatives selectively functionalized at po
sition 7 was synthesized in the course of the following one-pot reacti
on sequence: directed lithiation of 2,2-dimethyl-N-(3-halophenyl)propa
nethioamides (1, 2) or N-(3-halophenyl)-tert-butylthionocarbamates (15
-17), cyclization of the aryne intermediate, and quenching of the resu
lting aryllithium with selected electrophiles.
