Synthesis of benzo[f][1,2]thiazepine 1,1-dioxides based on the visible-light-mediated aza Paternò–Büchi reaction of benzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxides with alkenes†
Abstract
A new two-step, one-pot synthesis of benzo[f][1,2]thiazepine 1,1-dioxides was developed, which contains a visible-light mediated aza Paternò–Büchi reaction of benzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxides with alkenes and a Lewis acid catalyzed ring-expansion of azetidine. In this work, the mechanism of the aza Paternò–Büchi reaction was also investigated.
