Facile synthesis of some novel 4-{3-aryl-3, 4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4] thiazin-2-yl}-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives

A protocol for chemoselective one pot synthesis of 4-{3-aryl-3, 4-dihydro-2H-benzob]1,4]thiazin-2-yl}-2H-chromen-2-ones 4 and 4-{3-aryl-3, 4-dihydro-2H-benzob]1,4]thiazin-2-yl}-2H-chromen-2-ones 6 under refluxing conditions has been developed. Starting from 4-bromomethylcoumarin and Schiff base, which is derived from o-aminothiophenol and substituted aromatic aldehydes, the intermediate sulfide spontaneously underwent intramolecular carbanion addition across the azomethine carbon.
