A N-chlorosuccinimide catalyzed oxidative synthesis of 2-aryl benzothiazole from benzothiazoles and aryl aldehydes using tert-butyl peroxybenzoate as an oxidant in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been developed in moderate to good yields. Solvent DMSO as a strong Lewis base plays an efficient role in the reaction. Various substrates were tolerated under optimized conditions affording the arylated products in 12–94% yields for 28 examples. Additionally, acylated benzothiazoles were produced with 4 examples.

NCS / TBHP促进DMSO中苯并噻唑与醛的C2芳基化

已经开发了N-氯代琥珀酰亚胺使用过氧苯甲酸叔丁酯作为氧化剂在二甲亚砜（DMSO）中由苯并噻唑和芳基醛催化氧化合成2-芳基苯并噻唑的方法。作为强路易斯碱的溶剂DMSO在反应中起有效作用。在优化的条件下可以耐受各种底物，使28个实例的芳基化产物收率为12–94％。另外，用4个实施例制备了酰化的苯并噻唑。
