One-pot synthesis of thiazino[2,3,4-hi]indole derivatives through a tandem oxidative coupling/heteroannulation process†
Abstract
A novel and expedient one-pot synthesis of thiazino[2,3,4-hi]indole derivatives from o-haloaryl enamines and o-bromothiophenols has been developed. The tandem oxidative coupling/heteroannulation reactions exhibit high selectivity and good efficiency. The polycyclic heterocyclic products obtained might be useful in medicinal chemistry and materials science.
