5-Substituted-2-aminobenzenethiols (1a-f) react conveniently with beta
-benzoylacrylic acid in acidic and with benzalacetophenone in neutral
medium to give 2, 3-dihydro-1, 5-benzothiazepine (4a-f) and 2, 5-dihyd
ro-1, 5-benzothiazepine (5a-f) series, respectively, in one step and i
n satisfactory yields. The structural assignments based on micro analy
tical data and spectroscopies, particularly, the H-1 NMR studies to ch
aracterise imino, 2, 3-dihydro- and enamino, 2, 5-dihydro-structures,
are discussed.
