A simple and useful new type of protection method for carbonyl groups by conversion into 3-methylbenzothiazoline derivatives with o-(methylamino)benzenethiol was describe.With this method, 3-methylbenzothiazolines were conveniently obtained in excellent yields from various aldehydes and ketones.This method allows efficient protection and deprotection under mild and neutral conditions and affords protection of the carbonyl group against both basic and acidic conditions.The difference in reactivity between different carbonyl groups was successfully utilized for the chemoselective benzothiazolination of the formyl group of 4-oxopentanal and also for the chemoselective conversion of 4-androstene-3,17-dione and progesteron into the corresponding benzothiazolines with the nonconjugated keto groups remaining intact. 2-Substituted benzothiazolines derived from aldehydes were efficiently converted into 2,2-disubstituted benzothiazolines via alkylation, with a varity of Grignard or organolithium reagents, of 2-substituted 3-methylbenzothiazolium salts which were readily obtained by the treatment of the former thiazolines with trityl perchlorate in acetonitrile.These salts were also obtained in good yields from aldehydes in one-pot syntheses by the treatment with o-(methylamino)benzenethiol in acetonitrile followed by addition of trityl perchlorate. 3-Methylbenzothiazolium iodide was found to be also effective as a formyl cation equivalent and the reactions with Grignard or organolithium reagents produced the corresponding 2-substituted benzothiazolines in good yields.With this reaction, 2-deutero-3-methylbenzothiazolium iodide was effectively applied as a deuterated formyl cation equivalent for the synthesis of aldehyde-d.

Alkylation of 2-substituted 3-methyl- or 3-ethylbenzothiazolines with Meerwein reagents gave 2-substituted 3,3-dialkylbenzothiazolinium tetrafluoroborates (3).The configuration of two alkyl groups on the nitrogen was assigned by NMR spectra and NOE measurement.In the Stevens rearrangement of 3 with lithium diisopropylamide ethyl group showed a much larger migratory aptitude (Et:Me>20:1) than methyl group irrespective of the configuration of 3, and cyclic ammonium ylide with planar ?-type carbanion was proposed as an intermediate. 3 suffered nucleophilic attack at the ring sulfur atom by butyllithium to afford a ring-opened ammonium ylide, which collapses to a radical pair to give unusual Stevens rearrangement product, where o-alkylthiophenyl group migrated selectively in preference to alkyl group, because of stabilization by participation of o-alkylthio group.
