title: Fe-catalysed oxidative C-H functionalization/C-S bond formation.
abstract: Iron was used as the catalyst for the direct C-H functionalization/C-S bond formation under mild conditions. Various substrates could afford benzothiazoles in moderate to excellent yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that pyridine played a crucial role for the high yields and selectivities.
