Microwave-assisted one-pot synthesis of benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-3(4H)-ones via Smiles rearrangement

The synthesis of benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-3(4H)-one derivatives in a simple and efficient method from the one-pot reaction of substituted 2-chlorobenzenthiols, chloroacetyl chloride, and primary amines via Smiles rearrangement under microwave irradiation gave high yields (65–92%) of the products with short reaction time (15–20 min).
