Iodine-mediated C–N and C–S bond formation: regioselective synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles†
Abstract
A new strategy involving iodine-mediated reactions for the construction of C–N and C–S bonds has been reported. This method is base and metal free and features inexpensive catalysts, with a simple procedure and a short reaction time.
