A series of 4H-3,1-benzothiazines have been successfully synthesized through a three-step sequence starting from commercially available 2-iodoaniline. The key step consists of the cyclization of compounds 6 via an intramolecular S-conjugate addition. The synthesis is straightforward, gives good yields and offers a broad range of possibilities since R can be many alkyl or aryl groups and Z a suitable electron-withdrawing functionalization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
