“…The catalyst benzene sulphonamide dibromide was synthesized and employed in the one-pot condensation of 2-amino thiadiazol 328, aromatic aldehydes 4 and acetamide 329 in toluene under reux conditions, which afforded thiadiazole-fused triazine derivatives 330 in excellent yields (Scheme 103). 200 A unique approach to benzothiazole-fused imidazoles 332 was developed by S. G. Balwe and Y. T. Jeong via the ironcatalyzed three-component cascade coupling of 2-aminobenzothiazole 3b, aldehydes 4 and nitroalkane 331 in air. 201 The mechanistic aspect of this unprecedented formation of fused imidazoles includes a sequential aza-Henry reaction and subsequent intramolecular cyclization, followed by denitration.…”
