Abstract

We present a Diversity Oriented Clicking approach to synthesize a library of novel clickable N-substituted 2-aminothiazoles which serve as versatile hubs for SuFEx click chemistry diversification. Leveraging the spring-loaded reactivity of the 2-Substituted-Alkynyl-1-Sulfonyl Fluoride (SASF) connectors, the transformation is simple to perform, tolerant of a wide range of functionality, and regioselective for a single product. Finally, we propose a detailed stepwise reaction mechanism that is supported by experimental and computational analysis.
