Reaction of this compound with several ¦Á-bromocarbonyl compounds gave new 2-(E)-cyano(oxazolidin-2-ylidene)thiazoles (3a-g). The chemical structures of novel compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR spectrometry and mass spectrophotometric analyses. %K Thiazole %K Oxazolidine %K Hantzsch¡¯s synthesis %K Heterocyclization %K Regioselective synthesis %K Phosphorus pentasulfide %U http://www.eurjchem.com/index.php/eurjchem/article/view/389
