One-Pot Strategy for Thiazoline Synthesis from Alkenes and Thioamides

Abstract

A convenient synthesis of a privileged pharmaceutical motif, thiazoline is accomplished. This reaction utilizes simple and readily available alkene and thioamide substrates in an intermolecular fashion via a simple one-pot procedure. A wide range of functional groups is tolerated, and the thiazoline product has been further utilized for the synthesis of the corresponding β-aminothiol and thiazole from routine hydrolysis and oxidation protocols.
