Reagent-controlled regiodivergent intermolecular cyclization of 2-aminobenzothiazoles with ?-ketoesters and ?-ketoamides.


ABSTRACT: Two regiodivergent approaches to intermolecular cyclization of 2-aminobenzothiazoles with ?-ketoesters and amides have been developed, controlled by the reagents employed. With the Brønsted base KOt-Bu and CBrCl3 as radical initiator, benzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles are synthesized via attack at the ?-carbon and keto carbon of the ?-ketoester moiety. In contrast, switching to the Lewis acid catalyst, In(OTf)3, results in the regioselective nucleophilic attack at both carbonyl groups forming benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones instead.
