Several novel pyridopyrimidine, chromenopyridine, oxazole, diazepinone, thiophene and thienopyridine derivatives could be obtained starting from 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-oxopentanedinitrile and plausible mechanisms for their formations are reported. %K Benzothiazole %K Pyridopyrimidine %K Thienopyridine %K Oxazole %K Chromenopyridine %K Diazepinone derivatives %U http://www.eurjchem.com/index.php/eurjchem/article/view/32
