Abstract
A series of 4-bromo-5-halo and 4-bromo-5-organometal-2-anilinothiazole derivatives were prepared via the halogen dance (HD) reaction. Subsequent Pd-catalyzed Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions were performed in a sequential manner to obtain novel 4,5-diarylated-2-anilinothiazoles.
Keywords: Pd-catalysis, cross-couplings, thiazole, halogen dance, sequential cross-couplings
