Yttrium-catalyzed heterocyclic formation via aerobic oxygenation: A green approach to benzothiazoles

The YCl3-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cyclization reaction for the synthesis of benzothiazoles has been developed. This method provides a practical, effective and green synthetic approach to benzothiazoles which are important units in many biologically active compounds.
