Copper-catalyzed three-component redox-neutral ring opening of benzothiazoles with aryl iodides and O-benzoyl hydroxylamines for the synthesis of 1-amino-N-(2-(phenylthio)phenyl)methanimine has been developed. This one-pot reaction undergoes C-S and N-O bond cleavage and new C-S and C-N bond construction. Several control experiments excluded a free radical procedure and also demonstrated the secondary amine as a possible intermediate, which was vital to the catalytic reaction. Meanwhile, the deuteration experiment got rid of the C-H activation dehydroisomerization of the benzothiazole mechanism.
