Novel Solid-Phase Parallel Synthesis of N-Substituted-2-aminobenzo[d]thiazole Derivatives via Cyclization Reactions of 2-lodophenyl Thiourea Intermediate Resin

Abstract

A novel solid-phase methodology has been developed for the synthesis of N-alkyl, N-acyl, and N-sulfonyl-2-aminobenzo[d]thiazole derivatives. The key step in this procedure involves the preparation of polymer-bound 2-aminobenzo[d]thiazole resins 5 by cyclization reaction of 2-iodophenyl thiourea resin 3. The resin-bound 2-iodophenyl thiourea 3 is produced by addition of 2-iodophenyl isothiocyanate 2 to the amine-terminated linker amide resin 1. These core skeleton 2-aminobenzo[d]thiazole resins 5 undergo functionalization reactions with various electrophiles, such as alkyl halides, acid chlorides, and sulfonyl chlorides to generate N-alkyl, N-acyl, and N-sulfonyl-2-aminobenzo[d]thiazole resins 6, 7, and 8, respectively. Finally, N-alkyl, N-acyl, and N-sulfonyl-2-aminobenzo[d]thiazole derivatives 9, 10, and 11 are then generated in good yields and purities by cleavage of the respective resins 6, 7, and 8 using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (DCM).
