Regioselective synthesis of substituted thiazoles via cascade reactions from 3-chlorochromones and thioamides

Org Biomol Chem. 2020 Aug 12;18(31):6162-6170. doi: 10.1039/d0ob01019g.

Abstract

A facile and efficient strategy to synthesize substituted thiazoles via a cascade reaction from chromone derivatives and thioamides in an environmentally benign medium was developed. This cascade reaction involves a Michael addition/intramolecular cyclization process and a broad scope of reversed regioselectivity products was prepared in a short reaction time with excellent yields. The reversed regioselectivity was also explained by DFT calculations.
