With the development of industry and the rapid growth of population, the current water treatment technologies face many challenges. Hydrodynamic cavitation as a green and efficient means of water treatment has attracted much attention. During the hydrodynamic cavitation, enormous energy could be released into the surrounding liquid which causes thermal effects (local hotspots with 4600 K), mechanical effects (pressures of 1500 bar) and chemical effects (hydroxyl radicals).

Thiazolones as a class of five-membered heterocyclic compounds containing both nitrogen and sulfur, have been proved to possess important biological activities. Because thiazolone molecules have many reaction sites, they can carry out a series of modification reactions, which makes them good reaction substrates for various molecular syntheses. In recent years, research on the use of asymmetric organocatalysis to construct thiazolone derivatives has attracted a lot of attention.
