Abstract
Abstract N -(4-Methyl-3-tolylthiazol-2(3H)-ylidene) substituted benzamides ( 2a-o ) were synthesized in good to excellent yields by the base-catalyzed direct cyclization of corresponding 1-tolyl-3-aryl thioureas ( 1a-o ) with 2-bromoacetone through microwave irradiation in a solvent-free medium. Compared to traditional thermal heating, microwave irradiation provides a much more cleaner, efficient and faster method for synthesis of the title compounds.
