Two regiodivergent approaches to intermolecular cyclization of 2-aminobenzothiazoles with β-ketoesters and amides have been developed, controlled by the reagents employed. With the Brønsted base KO<i>t-</i>Bu and CBrCl<sub>3</sub> as radical initiator, benzo[<i>d</i>]imidazo[2,1-<i>b</i>]thiazoles are synthesized via attack at the α-carbon and keto carbon of the β-ketoester moiety. In contrast, switching to the Lewis acid catalyst, In(OTf)<sub>3</sub>, results in the regioselective nucleophilic ...[more]
