Abstract
A one-pot tandem approach for the synthesis of benzothiazoles from benzyl halides and o-aminobenzenethiol was described. Benzothiazoles were obtained in high chemical yields under mild conditions in DMSO in the absence of an additional oxidant. Both benzyl chlorides and bromides bearing a range of substituents proved to be suitable substrates.
Key words
benzothiazole - benzyl halide - oxidation - one-pot - tandem reaction

References and Notes
Treatment of benzaldehyde with o-aminothiophenol under the same reaction conditions gave the corresponding benzothiazole in 80% yield.
14o-Aminophenol was not a suitable substrate and the corresponding benzoxazole was furnished in low yield under the same conditions.
15General Experimental Procedure A mixture of benzyl halide (0.24 mmol, 1.2 equiv) with NaHCO3 (1 mmol, 5.0 equiv) in DMSO (2 mL) was stirred for 5 h at 90 ˚C. Then, o-aminothiophenol (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was added into the above solution. Resulting solution was continued stirring for overnight up to the completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were successively washed with H2O and brine, dried over anhyd Na2SO4, and concentrated to dryness. The crude product was purified by preparative TLC on silica gel to give the product.
