Abstract
A facile and conveniently simple new protocol is devised for the synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted and annulated isothiozoles under transition metal and catalyst free conditions utilizing easily available acetophenones, dithioesters and NH4OAc. This strategy involves C=O and C=S functionalization via sequential imine formation followed by intra molecular cyclization and aerial oxidation forming consecutive C−N and S−N bonds respectively in one pot. This protocol offers a low cost, user friendly, straight forward and widely applicable approach to 3,5-disubstituted isothiazoles.
