ABSTRACT
A one-pot, three-component protocol for the synthesis of novel five-membered thiazole ring bonded to two hydrazone motifs is described. The acid-catalyzed reaction of one equivalent of thiocarbohydrazide, two equivalents of aromatic aldehydes, and one equivalent of phenacyl bromides afforded the five-membered thiazole ring. The reactions proceed with novel chemoselectivity. Similar reported protocols have always afforded 1,3,4-thiadiazines.
