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

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (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 filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. 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).
