Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3.0 g. of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-5H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazin-3(2H)-one (8.4 mmol.) suspended in 30 ml. of pyridine at 0° C. was added dropwise 2.5 ml. of hexadecanoyl chloride (10.9 mmol.). After stirring for 45 minutes, the mixture was poured onto ice-water and allowed to stand for 16 hours at room temperature, resulting in the formation of a yellow precipitate. The precipitate was collected, washed with water and air-dried, then purified using flash chromatography on silica gel, using a mixture of 5% ethyl acetate: 95% methylene chloride as the eluent. Fractions containing the product were combined, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether to yield 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(1-oxohexadecyloxy)methyl]-5H-pyrido[3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazin-3(2H)-one as a light yellow solid (1.69 g; 34% yield) having the structural formula, ##STR18## a melting point in the range of 89°-92° C. and the following elemental analysis:
