A rapid and high-yielding synthesis of thiazoles and aminothiazoles using ammonium-12-molybdophosphate
A convenient method for the synthesis of thiazoles and aminothiazoles by treatment of phenacyl bromides with thioamides/thiourea in the presence of ammonium-12-molybdophosphate at room temperature has been developed. The products are formed rapidly (within 20 min) and in excellent yields. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
