An efficient 2-component synthesis of a series of 3-(2-(substituted phenylamino)thiazol-4-yl)-2 H -chromen-2ones (3a-j) was achieved by the reaction of 3-(2-thiocyanatoacetyl)-2 H -chromen-2-one (1) with a variety of suitably substituted anilines in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol. The structures of the products were established by elemental analyses, and UV-vis, FTIR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, and mass spectroscopy. 3-(2-(4-Methylphenylamino)thiazol-4-yl)-2 H -chromen-2one (3j) was further characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. This compound, C 19 H 14 N 2 OS, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21, with Z = 4, and unit cell parameters a = 13.0785(11), b = 25.746(2), c = 4.7235(3)Å, α = β = γ = 90 • .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
