Abstract AcOH promoted annulation reaction of 2-arylideneindane-1,3-diones with methyl 2-(benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-3-ylidene)acetate in refluxing ethanol afforded pentacyclic tetrahydroindeno [1,2-b]phenothiazine in satisfactory yields and with high diastereoselectivity according to the unexpected tandem annulation… Click to show full abstract
Abstract AcOH promoted annulation reaction of 2-arylideneindane-1,3-diones with methyl 2-(benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-3-ylidene)acetate in refluxing ethanol afforded pentacyclic tetrahydroindeno [1,2-b]phenothiazine in satisfactory yields and with high diastereoselectivity according to the unexpected tandem annulation process. When the above reaction was carried out in refluxing acetic acid, isomeric dihydroindeno [1,2-b]phenothiazines and dihydroindeno [2,1-c]phenothiazines were obtained in comparable yields according to alternate tandem annulation process.
