Synthesis of benzothiazonine by rhodium-catalyzed denitrogenative transannulation of 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole and thiochromone.

ABSTRACT

A facile synthesis of multi-functionalized benzothiazonine was achieved by the rhodium-catalyzed denitrogenative annulation of 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole and thiochromone. In view of the excellent atom economy, broad substrate scope and easy availability of starting materials, the protocol provided an efficient strategy for the construction of medium N,S-heterocycles.
