Abstract
Heterocyclic compounds containing sulfur and nitrogen are pivotal in the development of both synthetic
and pharmaceutical chemistry. Thiazoles, in particular, serve as essential building blocks for the construction
of biologically active scaffolds such as 4-thiazolidinones and benzothiazoles. These molecules are integral to
a range of medicinal agents, including vitamin B analogues, sulfonamide derivatives, promizole, niridazole,
aminotriazole, and tetramisole, highlighting their pharmacological significance. Despite their widespread use, a
comprehensive understanding of the reaction pathways and kinetic profiles of thiazole transformations remains
limited. This work investigates the interaction of thiazole with sodium methoxide under continuous stirred tank
conditions, focusing on unraveling the sequence of mechanistic steps, identifying rate-determining events, and
mapping dynamic reaction behaviors. By elucidating these kinetic and mechanistic aspects, the study aims to
facilitate the rational design of thiazole-based syntheses and optimize reaction efficiency for pharmaceutical and
industrial applications
