In 1972, van Leusen, Hoogenboom and Siderius introduced the utility of TosMIC for the synthesis of azoles (pyrroles, oxazoles, imidazoles, thiazoles, etc.) by delivering a C-N-C fragment to polarized double bonds. In addition to the synthesis of 5-phenyloxazole, they also described reaction of TosMIC with /7-nitro- and /7-chloro-benzaldehyde (3) to provide analogous oxazoles 4 in 91% and 57% yield, respectively. Reaction of TosMIC with acid chlorides, anhydrides, or esters leads to oxazoles in which the tosyl group is retained. For example, reaction of acetic anhydride and TosMIC furnish oxazole 5 in 73% yield. ... 

A variation of the general method for the synthesis of 2-amino-selenazoles is to avoid the use of the free a-halogenocarbonyl compound and in its place react the corresponding ketone and iodine with selenourea.This procedure is also taken from thiazole chemistry. By contrast with thiourea, the reaction with selenourea needs a longer reaction time and the work up of the reaction mixture is somewhat more difficult. Usually an excess of the ketone is used. In the preparation of 2-amino-4-( n-nitrophenyl)selenazole, a very high yield, calculated on the amount of iodine used, was obtained. To explain this peculiar result, the oxidative action of the nitro group was invoked. This liberates free iodine from some of the hydrogen iodide eliminated in the condensation reaction, and the free iodine then re-enters into the reaction. 

Synthesis. - From ortho-Halobenzoyl Compounds, Aqueous Ammonia, and Elemental Sulphur. Treating a mixture of 2,5-Cl(N02)C6H3CH0 and sulphur in DMF at 70 C with 25% aqueous NH3 gives 95% of 5-nitro-l, 2-benziso-thiazole (38) (Scheme 4). Other compounds (39 = H, aliphatic, cyclo-... 

Among other condensed thiazole ring systems, imidazo[2,l-6]thiazoles (tetramisole is a member of this class), thiazolo-pyrimidines, and thiazolo-pyridines continue to attract the most interest. Attention is concentrated on synthesis and biological activity. Unexpectedly, dihydrothiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium bromide is readily brominated when the pyridine ring has a 3-nitro-substituent but not when it has a 3-amino-substituent.
