Abstract

A carbene-catalyzed oxidative cycloaddition reaction is developed for efficient access to multi-functionalized 2-phenylbenzothiazoles. A broad scope of heavily substituted arenes bearing 2-benzothiazole groups have been prepared in good to excellent yields. The remote C(sp2)–H bond in the substituted arene products can be activated by Pd catalysts in regio-selective fashion with the direction of the 2-benzothiazole groups.
