An efficient and practical method for the one-step synthesis of benzothiazole-2-thiols I [R = H, 5-Cl; X = S], benzoxazole-2-thiols I [R = H, 5-Me, 5-Br, etc.; X = O] and benzimidazoline-2-thiones such as II by cyclization of 2-aminothiophenols, 2-aminophenols, and 1,2-phenylenediamines with tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) in water was described. This method was also used for the synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-thiazole-2-thiol, 4,5-dihydro-oxazole-2-thiol and 1,3-ethylenethiourea from their corresponding aliphatic amines and (TMTD). The features of this method included metal/ligand-free, excellent yield, short reaction time and broad substrate scope. The method provided a facile and convenient preparation of some potentially biol. active compounds
