ZnO-Nanorods as the Catalyst for the Synthesis of 1,3-Thiazole Derivatives via Multicomponent Reactions

Environmentally method for the synthesis of 1,3-thiazole has been achieved by multicomponent reactions of primary amines, isothiosyanates and alkyl bromides under solvent-free conditions using nanorod ZnO structures as catalyst. These reactions were not performed without catalyst. The catalyst showed significant reusable activity.
