“…Despite this methodology has been used successfully with non substituted 2-aminobenzenesulfonamides (16), and in the preparation of their isostere counterparts 4(3//)-quinazolinones (16,17), it failed for all our cases (Table 1) to generate the 3,4-double bond of desired 2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazines 3, even at higher temperatures (up to 180°C) or longer heating times (12 h 12, No. 5, 2006 Synthesis and preliminary cytotoxic evaluation of novel 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzotiadiazine-1, 1-dioxide Somehow, the halogen located at C-5 of the sulfonamide affects the double bond generation, cause only a 5% of the unsaturated compound was detected by 'HNMR -typically characterized by a broad singlet NH signal at around 12 ppm-at longer reaction times.…”
