Carbon-Sulfur Bond Formation: Tandem Process for the Synthesis of Functionalized Isothiazoles.

In this paper, we report a new process for the construction of 3,4,5-substituted isothiazoles via reaction cascades including Pummerer-like rearrangement, nucleophilic condensation, and sulfenamide cyclization followed by concomitant elimination and dehydration under mild reaction conditions. This process provides isothiazoles bearing fluorine and other functional groups in good to excellent yields from readily available starting materials.
