ONE-POT SYNTHESIS OF 2-ARYLTHIAZOLINES WITH 1-BUTYL-3-METHYLIMIDAZOLIUM TRIBROMIDE AS A CATALYTIC REAGENT

A simple, inexpensive, and efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-arylthiazoline derivatives under solvent-free conditions using a catalytic amount of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tribromide with excellent product yields is reported. This methodology provides easy, quantitative access to various 2-arylthiazoline derivatives, using environmentally benign 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tribromide as a catalyst.
