2-Aminothiophenol → 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-aminothiophenol (12.6 g) and o sodium acetate (23.6 g) in ethanol (150 ml) is added methyl α-bromo-4-fluorophenylacetate (23.6 g), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. After the solvent is distilled off, water is added to the residue. The resulting precipitate is separated by filtration, washed, dried, and then recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran-n-hexane to give 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine (21.7 as crystals. M.p. 216°-219° C.
