Synthesis of 2-arylbenzothiazoles catalyzed by biomimetic catalyst, β-Cyclodextrin

Abstract

Cyclocondensation of 2-aminothiophenol and aryl/heteryl aldehydes has been carried using biomimetic catalyst, β-Cyclodextrin in water and obtained 2-aryl/heteryl benzothiazoles with better to excellent yields. This biomimetic catalyzed route is simple, economic, and environmentally benign.
