“…The target inhibitors 4a , b , h , 5b – f , h , j , and 6a – g were synthesized as illustrated in Scheme . The starting 4-, 5-, and 6-aminobenzo[ d ]isothiazol-3(2 H )-one 1,1-dioxide derivatives 1 – 3 were prepared according to synthetic methods previously described by Rose and Saary et al Once obtained, the key intermediates 1 – 3 afforded the aroyl-substituted compounds by treatment with the suitable aryl chloride, in anhydrous toluene and in the presence of triethylamine. Derivative 5j , bearing an acetylamino substituent on the distal phenyl ring, was synthesized by reaction of the amino compound 2 with acetic anhydride, at 100 °C.…”
