Abstract
Under catalyst- and additive-free conditions, a novel, convenient, environmentally friendly method was developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles via the three-component one pot reaction from aromatic amines, aliphatic amines, and elemental sulfur. The reaction achieves double C–S and one C–N bond formations via cleavage of two C–N bonds and multiple C–H bonds. Furthermore, the mechanism research shows that DMSO acts as an oxidant in the cyclization reaction.
Introduction
Benzothiazoles are highly important structural scaffolds for a variety of compounds that prevalently exist in functional molecules applied in biology, pharmacy, and material science.1 As one of the most important components, 2-substituted benzothiazoles exhibit good pharmaceutical activity, which appear as a core skeleton in antimicrobial, antitumor, anticonvulsant, antituberculosis, calcium-channel antagonist, and neuroprotective agents.2 Therefore, considerable interest has been inclined toward the development of efficient methods for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles.3
Traditional methods for synthesizing 2-subsituted benzothiazoles involve two kinds of approaches. The first one is transition-metal-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of thiobenzanilides.4 The second kind of methods involve the condensation of 2-aminobenzenethiol with alcohols, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, aryl ketones, arylacetylenes, or styrenes.5 In addition, the C–H functionalization of the 2-position of benzothiazoles with aryl halides, arylsilanes, aromatic carboxylic acids, arylboronic acids, and triflates has become a useful strategy for the construction of 2-arylbenzothiazoles.6 However, these approaches still have some shortcomings, such as employing prefunctionalized substrates, stoichiometric toxic oxidants, expensive transition-metal catalysts, etc. Recently, the methods of synthesizing 2-substituted benzothiazoles by three-component reaction are very popular.7 The advantages of the three-component reaction involve a simple operation and using cheap and easily available elemental sulfur as the sulfur source. Among them, the classic methods for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles mainly include the transition metal-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of 2-haloanilides8 and condensation of o-halonitrobenzenes9 with other reagents under metal-free conditions. These methods are very effective for the construction of 2-substituted benzothiazoles. However, these reactions are still limited by the use of transition-metal catalysts and halogenated substrates. Therefore, it is highly desirable to exploit the novel strategies to synthesize 2-substituted benzothiazoles from readily available raw materials under mild and simple reaction conditions. Amines are one of the most useful synthons in organic synthesis that widely exist in nature with stable chemical properties and are commercially available. It would be a very good strategy to overcome these deficiencies by using amine compounds instead of halogenated compounds as reaction substrates. Recently, Deng and co-workers reported some novel methods of synthesizing 2-substituted benzothiazoles from amines, elemental sulfur, and benzaldehydes10 (Scheme 1a) or styrenes11 (Scheme 1b). In addition, Chen and co-workers developed an iodine-catalyzed one-pot reaction of aromatic amines, acetophenones, and sulfur powder for the synthesis of 2-aryl benzothiazoles12 (Scheme 1c). In order to have the prospect of industrialization, it is still urgent to find simpler and more economical ways to synthesize 2-substituted benzothiazoles.
Scheme 1. Synthesis of 2-Substituted Benzothiazoles from Amine and Elemental Sulfur under Metal-Free Conditions.
Within our continuous program on the development of a new approach for the construction of 2-substituted benzothiazoles by using sulfide or sulfur powder as a sulfur source,13 we herein report a three-component reaction for the construction of 2-substituted benzothiazoles from aromatic amines, aliphatic amines, and elemental sulfur under catalyst-free and additive-free conditions.
Results and Discussion
We began our study by examining the reaction of 2-naphthylamine (1a), benzylamine (2a), and sulfur powder in DMSO at 140 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere (Table 1). To our delight, the desired product 3a was obtained in an 83% yield (entry 1). Then, the solvents including DMF, NMP, MeCN, and DMAC were screened (entries 2–5). The results indicated that the best solvent for this reaction was DMSO. Subsequently, the amount of S8 and 2a was evaluated (entries 6–10). The results showed that 2 equiv of 2a and 3 equiv of S8 are the most suitable doses, giving the corresponding product in a 90% yield (entry 8). Finally, the temperature screening indicated that lower temperature is not suitable for this reaction and 140 °C is the most suitable temperature (entries 8 and 11). Thus, the optimal condition of this three-component reaction is as follows: 1a (0.2 mmol), 2a (0.4 mmol), and S8 (0.075 mmol) in DMSO (2 mL) under N2 at 140 °C for 22 h.

With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, we evaluated the scope and generality of this three-component reaction. Initially, the various monosubstituted benzylamines were screened (Table 2). The results demonstrated that both the electron-rich and electron-deficient group-substituted benzylamines could smoothly be transformed into the desired products. Meanwhile, substituents at different positions of the benzyl (para, meta, and ortho positions) could all achieve moderate to good yields, and the steric hindrance effect is not obvious (3a–3u). To our delight, the substrate bearing active amino at para, meta, and ortho positions of the benzyl formed 3g, 3m, and 3r in 70, 73, and 42 yields, respectively. As expected, multisubstituted benzylamines could also efficiently be converted into the corresponding products in medium to good yields (3v–3z). The results showed that the electron-donating-group substrates displayed higher reactivity than that of the electron-withdrawing-group substrates. Notably, the reaction was compatible with some heterocyclic amines such as pyridinylmethanamines and thiophen-2-ylmethanamine, affording the corresponding products 3aa–3ad in 80, 61, 32, 62, and 16% yields, respectively. Moreover, naphthalen-1-amine could be successfully converted into polycyclic product 3ae in an 80% yield. Finally, the substrate 6-bromonaphthalen-2-amine provided 7-bromo-2-phenylnaphtho[2,1-d]thiazole 3ba in a 76% yield.

To further examine the scope and limitations of the reaction, various anilines were tested instead of naphthalenamines (Table 3). However, only electron-donating groups such as methyl, methoxyl, phenoxy, N,N-dimethylamino, and acetyl amino-substituted anilines could smoothly be transformed into the target products in moderate to good yields (4a–4i). These results indicated that the reaction might undergo a process of an electrophilic attack.

To further expand the substrate scope, we next examined the effects of the different substitutes of some other aliphatic amines (Table 4). Various secondary amides (2af–2ai) and tertiary amines (2aj–2ak) were successfully converted into the corresponding product 3a in 60–99% yields under the standard reaction conditions. These results indicated that the substituents from N-substituted benzylamine did not remarkably affect the reaction. To our delight, the aliphatic amine such as triethylamine and isobutylamine afforded the desired products (3ak and 3al) in 28 and 19% yields, respectively. However, we also tried some other alkyl-substituted substrates such as diethylamine (2am) or phenylethylamine (2an); the reaction did not get the target product under the standard conditions.

A series of control experiments were performed to investigate the possible reaction mechanism (Scheme 2). First, in order to capture the reaction intermediate, under the standard reaction conditions, when the reaction of 2-naphthylamine (1a), benzylamine (2a), and sulfur powder was performed in 2 h, the imine (A and D), benzaldehyde (B), N-benzylthiobenzamide (C), and benzonitrile (E) could be detected from the reaction mixture by GC–MS analysis (Scheme 2a). Subsequently, under standard reaction conditions, C or E could not transfer into 2-phenylnaphtho[2,1-d]thiazole (Scheme 2b,c). However, the reaction of A or B with 2-naphthylamine and sulfur powder generated the desired product 3a in 97 or 69% yields, respectively, which indicated that this reaction probably involves two different pathways (Scheme 2d,e). In addition, the reaction of D and sulfur powder could smoothly transform into the target product 3a (Scheme 2f). The result indicated that A, B, and D may be the intermediates of the reaction. In addition, in the absence of 2-naphthylamine under same reaction conditions, the intermediates A and B were detected from the reaction mixture by GC–MS analysis (Scheme 2g). Furthermore, when DMSO was replaced by methyl phenyl sulfoxide, benzothiazolethione 2a could be isolated in a 65% yield, and the methyl(phenyl)sulfide was detected via GC–MS analysis (Scheme 2h). These results reveal that DMSO could be performed as an oxidant in this reaction. When elemental sulfur was removed from the reaction, the reaction could not proceed (Scheme 2i). In addition, the corresponding product 3a could be obtained under the conditions of DMF, NMP, CH3CN, or DMAC instead of DMSO (Table 1, entry 2–5). These results indicated that the sulfur source of the product came from S8. Finally, in order to study the practicability of the reaction, we performed a 5 mmol-scale magnification experiment and obtained the desired product in an 80% yield (Scheme 2j).
Scheme 2. Controlled Experiments.
Base on the experimental results and previous reports,13c,14 a possible reaction mechanism has been outlined (Scheme 3). First, under the oxidation of DMSO, benzylamine 2a is converted into imine intermediate A, which may undergo two reaction pathways to form the intermediate D. In route a, D is formed by a nucleophilic addition/elimination reaction of 2-naphthylamine 1a with A. In route b, A is converted to intermediate B by hydrolysis, and then B reacts with 2-naphthylamine to generate D. Subsequently, an electrophilic attack of elemental sulfur (Sn) to D gives F, which releases elemental sulfur (Sn–1) and a hydrogen proton to obtain sulfurated imine G. Finally, intermolecular nucleophilic cyclization of intermediate G generates thiazoline H and then proceeds through oxidative aromatization to give the desired product 2-phenylnaphtho[2,1-d]thiazole 3a.
Scheme 3. Possible Mechanism.
Conclusions
In summary, we have disclosed a novel, convenient, environmentally friendly method for synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles and 2-substituted naphthothiazoles from aromatic amines, aliphatic amines, and sulfur powder under catalyst- and additive-free conditions. In this reaction, DMSO served as an oxidant and solvent. This transformation is easy to conduct under mild oxidative conditions to generate double C–S and one C–N bond formations in a cascade sequence and features a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and an environmentally benign character. Further studies of this method will focus on the detailed mechanism and applications in organic synthesis.
