A facile, high yielding green chemical synthetic protocol adaptable to the parallel synthesis of a library of potentially bioactive 2-amino-4-arylthiazoles is reported herein. The methodology involves the condensation of various aracyl bromides with N-arylthioureas under MWI using water as solvent, to yield pure products (81%-97%) in very short reaction times (1-20 min).
