The synthesis of some pyrrolo[1,2,3‐de]‐1,4‐benzothiazine derivatives by using a modified Bischler type cyclization of N‐(2,2‐diethoxyethyl)‐2H‐1,4‐benzothiazines as a crucial step is described. The alternative approach based on Friedel‐Crafts alkylation of the N‐(2‐chloroethyl)‐2H‐1,4‐benzothiazines is shown to be impractical due to the low yield obtained.
