Abstract
Single step and convenient synthesis for 6-sulphonated 4H-1,4-benzothiazines is reported by the condensation and oxidative cyclization of 2-aminobenzenethiol-4-sulphonic acid with β-diketones. 2-Aminobenzenethiol-4-sulphonic acid has been synthesized directly by the reaction of sulphuric acid and 2-aminobenzenethiol. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral studies.
