Graphical Abstract

Abstract

A copper-catalyzed reaction of benzothiazole and readily available toluene derivatives has been disclosed. This protocol is proposed to proceed through the oxidation of toluene and ring opening of benzothiazole, thus providing a new pathway for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzothiazoles.
