A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles from α-diazoketones using PEG-400 solvent system. This novel synthetic approach involves the reaction between thiourea and α-diazoketones in PEG-400 at 100 • C to yield the corresponding 2-aminothiazoles in good yields. The method is simple, rapid and generates thiazole derivatives in excellent yields without the use of any catalysts. This green protocol can be utilized for fast synthesis of various 2-aminothiazoles in good yields.
Bismuth trichloride as mild reagent, has been found to be a worthful catalyst for tetrahydropyranylation of 1°,2 °,3°, allylic, benzylic alcohols, and symmetric di-ols. At room temperature the reagent THP(3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran) was successfully employed as pyranylating agent in presence of BiCl 3 catalyst without the use of a solvent and the yields of the products were found to be 90-96%. Further, the depyranylation of alcohols was achieved in quantitative yield by simple addition of MeOH using the same catalyst. The developed method was showed good chemo-selectivity in symmetrical diols for mono THP protection.
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.
