Abstract
An efficient and convenient synthesis of 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazole derivatives has been achieved by a one-pot, three-component condensation reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole (1) with substituted benzaldehydes (2a–f) and β-dicarbonyl derivatives (3a–e) in presence of 30 mol% of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (TBAHS) in good to excellent yields.
