A1 - Schmittel, Michael T1 - A one-pot multistep cyclization yielding thiadiazoloimidazole derivatives T2 - Beilstein journal of organic chemistry N2 - A versatile synthetic procedure is described to prepare the benzimidazole-fused 1,2,4-thiadiazoles 2a–c via a methanesulfonyl chloride initiated multistep cyclization involving the intramolecular reaction of an in-situ generated carbodiimide with a thiourea unit. The structure of the intricate heterocycle 2a was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis and its mechanism of formation supported by DFT computations.
