Propyl mercaptan → 2-[6-[(n-Propylthio)methyl]-2-pyridyl]-4H-1,3-benzothiazine-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

n-Propyl mercaptan (0.25 g, 3.30 mmol) and sodium hydride (60% in oil, 0.15 g, 3.60 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (30 ml), and 6-(4-oxo-4H-1,3-benzothiazin-2-yl)-2-pyridylmethanesulfonate (1.05 g, 3.00 mmol) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hrs, combined with ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was recrystallized from n-hexane-ethyl acetate to give the titled compound (0.20 g, 20%) as pale yellow crystals.
