Abstract

An N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed aza-benzoin reaction of benzothiazole-2-carboxaldehydes and N-sulfonylimines is reported for the first time. The target benzothiazole-containing aminoketone products bearing different substituents and substitution patterns can be obtained in good to excellent yields under mild conditions.
