“…Dihydro‐2 H ‐benzo[ b ][1,4]thiazine and their derivatives are one of the important class of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit a broad spectrum of bio‐ and pharmacological activities. Among several 1,2‐, 1,3‐, and 1,4‐benzothiazine compounds, the 1,4‐benzothiazines have been extensively studied because they show pronounced biological activities as antifungal agents (e.g., 1 ), the antihypertensive drug semotiadil ( 2 ), calcium antagonists 3 ,– antirheumatic agents 4 , adenosine triphosphate sensitive potassium (KATP) channel openers 5 , antihistamine agents 6 (Figure ), BK activators, cholinesterase inhibitors, chemosensitizers, anti‐inflammatory agents, antihypertensive agents, anticancer agents, antitumor agents, anti‐HIV agents, and so forth. Although some interesting routes are available for the synthesis of substituted dihydrobenzothiazines, efficient protocols for their diastereo‐ and enantioselective synthesis are still limited .…”
