The condensation of several aromatic/heteroaromatic aldehydes with 2-aminothiophenol catalyzed by silica sulfuric acid under microwave irradiation afforded 2-arylbenzothiazoles in high yields and short reaction times under solvent-free conditions. The major advantages of the present method are good yields, ecofriendly, reusable catalyst, mild and solvent-free reaction conditions.

Cyclocondensation of 2-aminothiophenol and aryl/heteryl aldehydes has been carried using biomimetic catalyst, $\beta$-Cyclodextrin in water and obtained 2-aryl/heteryl benzothiazoles with better to excellent yields. This biomimetic catalyzed route is simple, economic, and environmentally benign.

$SnO_2/SiO_2$ nanocomposite has been synthesized by using sol-gel method. Prepared catalytic materials has been well characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmer-Teller (BET) surface area, and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia ($NH_3$-TPD). $SnO_2/SiO_2$ nanocomposite catalyzed synthesis of 2-arylbenzothiazoles by the cyclocondensation of 2-aminothiophenol and aromatic aldehydes under reflux condition in 1:1 EtOH:$H_2O$. After completion of the reaction, catalyst can be recovered efficiently and reused with consistent activity.
