Abstract
A copper-catalyzed condensation of 2-aminobenzenethiols with nitriles enables an efficient and convenient synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles. The developed method is applicable to a wide range of nitriles containing different functional groups furnishing excellent yields of the corresponding products.
