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

Participants

Reaction Steps

K2CO3 (4.4 g, 31.9 mmol) and 1,2-dibromoethane (0.69 mL, 8.0 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-aminothiophenol (1.0 g, 8.0 mmol) in 20 mL of acetone at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The insoluble material was filtered off and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. 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).
