Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 20 g of methanesulfonyl chloride in 150 ml of methylene chloride was added drop-by-drop over a 55 minute period to a stirred mixture of 20 g of 2-(nitromethylene)-tetrahydro-2H-1,3-thiazine and 40 ml of triethylamine in 150 ml of methylene chloride, at -30° C., in a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at -30° C., and then washed with 2% hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was washed twice with methylene chloride. The resulting organic phases were combined, dried (Na2SO4), concentrated to about 50 ml, cooled to 0° C., and filtered. The crystalline solid was triturated with cold methylene chloride, to give N-(methylsulfonyl)-2-(nitromethylene)-tetrahydro-2H-1,3-thiazine (1A), as a crystalline solid, m.p.: 144-145° C. (with decomposition).
