title: Efficient and regioselective halogenations of 2-amino-1,3-thiazoles with copper salts.
abstract: Monohalo and dihalo 1,3-thiazole derivatives can be efficiently and selectively prepared under mild conditions from 2-amino-1,3-thiazoles. Halogenations proceed easily in the presence of copper(I) or copper(II) chlorides, bromides, or iodides directly in solution or with supported copper halides.
