One pot synthesis using supported reagents system KSCN/SiO2-RNH3OAc/Al2O3: synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and N-allylthioureas

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and N-allylthioureas from commercially available materials in one pot by using a supported reagents system, KSCN/SiO2-RNH3OAc/Al2O3, in which α-halo ketone reacts first KSCN/SiO2 and the product, α-thiocyanatoketone, reacts with RNH3OAc/Al2O3 to give the final product, 2-aminothiazoles, in good yield and allyl bromide reacts with KSCN/SiO2 and the product, allyl isothiocyanate, reacts with RNH3OAc/Al2O3 to give N-allylthiourea.
