Abstract

A novel S8-mediated approach to benzothiazoles/benzoselenazoles from bis(2-aminophenyl) disulfides/diselenides and phenylacetylenes or styrenes has been developed. 2-(Arylmethyl)-1,3-benzoselenazoles were comprehensively synthesized for the first time. The reactions proceeded in moderate to excellent yields, and with a gram-scale application.
