R. Caputo et al., A ONE-STEP SYNTHESIS OF 2,3-DIHYDRO-1,4-BENZOTHIAZINES AND PHENOTHIAZINES FROM 1,3-THIAZOLIDINE DERIVATIVES OF CYCLOHEXANONES, Heterocycles, 36(7), 1993, pp. 1641-1644
N-Acetyl-1,3-thiazolidine derivatives of cyclohexanones, when treated
with a threefold excess N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous chloroform at
room temperature, smoothly afford N-acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzothiazi
nes. This represents the first general route to such heterocyclic syst
em in one step from aliphatic precursors. The synthesis of optically a
ctive N-acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzothiazines is also reported.
