Abstract
The synthesis of 2-(hetero)aryl-5-benzothiazol-2-yl or -benzoxazol-2-ylfuran, -thiophene, and -1-methylpyrrole derivatives was accomplished in two steps. 2-(Benzothiazol-2-yl)- or 2-benzoxazol-2-ylfuran, -thiophene, or -1-methylpyrrole were synthesized by coupling a heteroaryl aldehyde and either 2-mercaptophenol or 2-aminophenol. Then, they were successfully arylated with a wide range of aryl bromides using a phosphine-free palladium protocol; regioselective arylation at C5 of furan, thiophene, or 1-methyl-1 H -pyrrole was observed in all cases. This reaction tolerates a wide variety of substituents on the aryl bromides as well as heteroaryl bromides.
