“…Continuing our efforts directed towards synthesis of fluorocontaining heterocycles we report in the present paper on conversion of internal octafluoro-2,3-epoxybutane 1 (cis:trans $ 10:90) [17] into new N,S-heterocycles: bis(trifluoromethyl)dihydrobenzothiazine 2, bis(trifluoromethyl)bis(benzothiazine) 5 and trifluoromethylcontaining benzothiazolidine 6 using 2-aminothiophenol. To investigate the effect of a solvent on a direction of the reaction aprotic solvents possessing different polarity [18], such as toluene, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, N,Ndimethylacetamide (DMAA) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), have been tested.…”
