Aj. Liepa et S. Saubern, 2-SUBSTITUTED 5,6-DIHYDRO-1,3-THIAZINES FROM NITRILES AND THIOCYANATES - A MODIFICATION OF MEYERSS METHOD, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 50(7), 1997, pp. 755-758
The thiazines (4)-(13) were prepared in high yields from corresponding
nitriles or thiocyanates and 4-mercapto-2-methylbutan-2-ol (2) in met
hanesulfonic acid. The use of thiocyanates for preparing 2-sulfur-subs
tituted thiazines is reported herein apparently for the first time. Th
iazines (9) and (10) were observed to exhibit imine-enamine tautomeriz
ation by H-1 n.m.r. spectroscopy.
