The thesis is focused on the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, including benzothiazoles and imidazoles. Benzothiazoles and imidazoles derivatives have unique physiological and biological activities and have a wide range of applications in medicine, pesticide and other fields, such as anti-HIV-1, anticancer, antimicrobial and plant virus. Therefore, the development of new method for their synthesis is significance. The contents of this thesis include:(1) Zn/Cu-catalyzed tandem reaction of TMTD with 2-haloanilines has been developed to construct a new C-S bond leading to a series of benzo[d]thiazol-2-amine derivatives. The catalytic system is simple, effective and high atom-economy.(2) A simple PdBr2-catalyzed synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazole was described by isothiocyanatobenzene self-coupling/intramolecular C-S bond formation/C-H bond activation cyclization reaction, generating the corresponding benzothiazole heterocyclic compounds in good yields.(3) CuI-catalyzed electrophilic cyclization reaction of 2-(phenylethynyl)benzaldehyde, benzenediamine and I2 was presented for the synthesis of iodoisoquinoline-fused benzimidazoles. |
