This paper presents a practical and efficient strategy for the preparation of imidazol[2,1-b]-thiazoles from thioimidazoles and ketones mediated by Selectfluor. The proposed mechanism suggests that this transformation took place through electrophilic thiolation at an α-carbon of ketones by sulfur cation, which was produced by the oxidation of thioimidazole by Selectfluor. This metal-free protocol tolerated various ketones, including Me ketones or non-Me ketones, aryl ketones or aliphatic ketones. Steric hindrance of the substituents at the α-position of ketones or on the aromatic ring of aryl ketones had significant influence on the yields of imidazol[2,1-b]-thiazoles. Thioimidazole and benzothioimidazoles were well tolerated while 5-substituted benzothioimidazoles provided the mixture of the corresponding 6-substituted and 7-substituted benzoimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole products.
