A1 - Gras, Emmanuel T1 - Straightforward convergent access to 2-arylated polysubstituted benzothiazoles JF - Beilstein Archives Y1 - 2019/// SN - M3 - doi:10.3762/bxiv.2019.152.v1 N2 - A modular access to 2,4 disubstituted benzothiazoles has been achieved though the intermediacy of 4-bromo-2-iodobenzothiazole. The difference in reactivity of both halogens was advantageously exploited to achieve sequential Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling giving access to a range of polyaromatic derivatives featuring a central benzothiazole core.
