Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.0 g. of 5,5-dimethylhexanoic acid (23.0 mmol.) and 2.5 ml. of thionyl chloride (34.3 mmol.) was allowed to stand at room temperature for 16 hours. Upon addition of 20 ml. of Skellysolve B, the resulting solution was refluxed for 1 hour, then the solvent was removed in vacuo. The remaining residue was azeotroped twice with Skellysolve B to yield a pale yellow liquid which was added dropwise to a suspension of 3.0 g. of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-5H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazin-3(2H)-one (8.4 mmol.) in 30 ml. of cold pyridine. After stirring in an ice-bath for 35 minutes, the reaction mixture was poured onto ice-water resulting in the formation of a solid product which was filtered, washed with water, and purified using flash chromotography on silica gel, using a mixture of 5% ethyl acetate: 95% methylene chloride as the eluent. Fractions containing product were combined and triturated with diethyl ether to yield 4 -(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(5,5-dimethyl-1-oxohexyloxy)methyl]-5H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]-benzothiazin-3(2H)-one as a yellow solid (2.4 g; 59% yield) having the structural formula, ##STR15## a melting point in the range of 143°-145° C. and the following elemental analysis:
