“…7,8 Recent extensive studies of derivatives incorporating a 1,4,2-benzodithiazine-1,1-dioxide moiety have revealed among them anti-HIV agents, 9 potent KATP channel openers, 10 compounds with antitumor 11 and significant cytotoxic activities against ovarian (OVCAR-3) and breast (MDA-MB-468) cancers as well as a good selectivity toward prostate (DU-145), colon (SW-620) and renal (TK-10) cancer cell lines. 12, 13 1,2,3-Benzoxathiazine-2,2-dioxides were prepared by reactions of 2-acylated phenols with chlorosulfonyl isothiocyanate 14 , sulfamoyl chloride 15,16 or sulfamide 17 (O-C-C-C + S-N cyclizations). Known methods for the synthesis of 1,4,2-benzodithiazine-1,1-dioxides are based on reactions of 2halogenosulfonamides with isothiocyanates, 18 dithiocarbamates 10 (N-S-C-C + C-S cyclizations) or [2+2]cycloaddition of S-aryldithiocarbamates with chlorosulfonyl isothiocyanate followed by C-arylsulfonylation (S-C-C + C-N-S cyclizations), 19 and reactions of 2-mercaptoarylsulfonamides with dialkyl carbonates or phenacyl bromides (S-C-C-S-N + C cyclization).…”
