1,2-Dibromoethane → 2,3-Dihydro-1,4-benzothiazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

K2CO3 (4.4 g, 31.9 mmol) and 1,2-dibromoethane (690 μL, 8.0 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-aminothiophenol (1.0 g, 8.0 mmol) in 20 mL of acetone at rt. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The insoluble material was filtered off and the solvent was removed in vacuum. The residue was purified on silica gel column to provide 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine (0.8 g, 66%). MS (ES+): 152 (M+1).
