A new multi-component reaction (MCR) of oxo components, primary amines, thiocarboxylic acids and a special isocyanide yielding 2,4-disubstituted thiazoles is described. This one-pot, one-step reaction is an alternative to current methods of thiazole ring formation and can be applied to combinatorial chemistry as well as in the total synthesis of thiazole containing natural products.
