(E)-2-(2-oxo-4-phenylbut-3-en-1-yl)benzo[d]thiazole-3(2H)-carboxylates

Abstract

An convenient one-pot approach for the synthesis of new (E)-2-(2-oxo-4-phenylbut-3-en-1-yl)benzo[d]thiazole-3(2H)-carboxylates is demonstrated. The method is based on a three-component reaction of benzylideneacetone with electrophilic N-alkoxycarbonylbenzothiazolium species formed in situ. The newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized by 1D 1H, 13C- NMR, IR and MS.
