“…1 Bentazone, a benzothiadiazine 2,2-dioxide, is a well-known herbicide 2 and pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides 3 or benzothieno[3,2-a]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides 4 have shown pharmaceutical properties. In contrast, very few unoxidized polycyclic 1,2,6-thiadiazines are known, 1 probably because of the lack of convenient synthetic approaches. All reported polycyclic 1,2,6thiadiazines were prepared from preformed 3,5-dichloro-4H-1,2,6thiadiazin-4-one or its 4-dicyanomethylene derivative, 5 with the exception of naphtho-and naphthobis [1,2,6]thiadiazines.…”
