Sodium hydride → 2-(1,1-Dioxo-1lambda6-[1,2]thiazinan-2-yl)-benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (0.675 g, 25 mmol, 95%) was added to a solution of 1,1-dioxo[1,2]thiazinane (3.37 g, 25 mmol) in dimethylformamide (35 mL) and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 15 min. 2-Fluorobenzonitrile (3.37 mL, 31.3 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred at 80° C. for 18 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water and brine, then dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2) eluting with 10%-100% ethyl acetate/hexane. The isolated solid was recrystallized from hot ethyl acetate/hexane (2:1) to give the title compound as white crystals (4.15 g, 70% yield). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) 5 ppm: 7.70 (1H, dd, J=7.7, 1.1 Hz), 7.64-7.53 (2H, m), 7.41 (1H, td, J=7.3, 1.6 Hz), 3.72 (2H, t, J=5.5 Hz), 3.32 (2H, t, J=6.0 Hz), 2.40-2.32 (2H, m), 2.05-1.97 (2H, m). LCMS [M+H]+ calcd for C11H12N2O2S: 237.06; found: 237.10.
