Abstract

Treatment of allenyl isothiocyanates with sulfur-, oxygen-, nitrogen- or hydride-containing nucleophiles such as propane-2-thiol, thiophenol, hydrogen sulfide, alcohols, phenol or aqueous NaOH, NH3, primary or secondary aliphatic or aromatic amines, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylguanidine or sodium cyanoborohydride resulted in ring closure to generate thiazoles bearing a functionality at position C-2 in most cases. Moreover, we report the first examples of aromatic thiazole-2-phosphonates prepared by the same strategy using dialkyl or diphenyl phosphites as nucleophiles.
