Abstract

On treatment with triethylamine in acetonitrile at 0°C, 2-methy-3-phenacylbenzothiazolium bromide gave a dimer of 2-methylene-3-phenacylbenzothiazoline in a quantitative yield. The methylene base, generated in situ, reacted with electron-deficient acetylenes and olefins to give 3-substituted 2-phenylpyrrolo[2,1-b]benzothiazole via a Michael type adduct; in some cases Michael type adducts were isolated. On the other hand, the methylene base reacted with tetracyanoethylene to give 2-butadienylidenebenzothiazoline derivative, which on heating in acetic anhydride afforded 1-benzoyl-2-cyanopyrrolo[2,1-b]benzothiazole with the elimination of malononitrile.
