Oxidative ring‐expansion of benzothiazolines into 1,4‐benzothiazines

Abstract
By treatment in boiling DMSO, benzothiazolines 1 yield 1,4‐benzothiazines 4 in some cases together with benzothiazoles. Two competing pathways, namely oxidative ring‐expansion and decomposition of benzothiazoline accounting for the formation of 4 and benzothiazoles, respectively, are suggested.
