Rapid and convenient synthetic strategy for 2-amino-4-aryl-5-aryl-sulfonyl thiazoles

Synthesis of 2-amino-4-aryl-5-arylsulfonyl thiazoles 2a-i have been successfully carried out in one pot by condensing α-aryl sulfonyl-4-substituted acetophenones with phenyl trimethyl ammonium tribromide (PTT) and thiourea. The required α-aryl sulfonyl-4-substituted acetophenones have also been prepared by modified one pot method.
