First synthesis of pyrrolothiadiazinones. An alternative core ring for xanthine based structures

The first synthesis of pyrrolothiadiazine core ring bearing substituents at positions 1, 3 and 6 is described, using a straightforward synthesis from diversely substituted 5-methylthiadiazines. These structures are of interest not only because they can be considered as useful building blocks but also because they can potentially be used as alternative core rings for biologically important molecules bearing xanthine as a central core.
