“…The 2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-ones are a group of sixmembered heterocycles with a wide range of biological activity (Ryabukhin et al, 1996;Silverberg & Moyer, 2019). Surrey's research (Surrey et al, 1958;Surrey, 1963a,b) resulted in the discovery of two drugs, the antianxiety and muscle relaxant chlormezanone, C 11 H 12 ClNO 3 S, [2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one 1,1-dioxide] (O 'Neil, 2006;Tanaka & Horayama, 2005) and the muscle relaxant dichlormezanone, C 11 H 11 Cl 2 NO 3 S, [2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-methyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,3-thiazin-4-one 1,1dioxide] (Elks & Ganellin, 1990). These sulfones showed greater activity than the sulfides from which they were synthesized (Surrey et al, 1958).…”
