Abstract
Thiazoles comprise an important class of heterocyclic compounds present in many potent biologically active molecules. This heterocyclic ring also shows various applications in organic synthesis to obtain new compounds. This paper presents different methodologies for the preparation of thiazole ring systems, as well as their synthetic applications.Keywords: thiazole; biological activity; synthesis.Document Type: Review ArticleDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-40422005000100016Publication date: 1 de Fevereiro de 2005
