Progress in the chemistry of 5-acetylthiazoles

Abstract

This review deals with the synthesis and reactions of 5-acetylthiazoles. Some of these reactions have been used successfully for the production of biologically important compounds. The main purpose of this review is to present a survey of the literature on the chemistry of 5-acetylthiazoles and to provide useful and up-to-date information on their applications because these compounds have not been previously reviewed.
