Generalized Method for the Production of 1,3‐Benzoxazine, 1,3‐Benzothiazine, and Quinazoline Derivatives from 2‐(Hydroxy, Thio, or Amino) Aromatic Acids Using Triphenylphosphine Thiocyanogen

Abstract

Abstract A modified one‐pot method was developed for the synthesis of 1,3‐benzoxazines, in which the preparation of unstable thiocyanogen was omitted. The method was found to be general for substituted (methyl, methoxy, halo, and hydroxy) 2‐hydroxy benzoic acids and 2‐hydroxy naphthoic acids. The method was extended to 2‐thio, 2‐amino, and N‐methyl aminobenzoic acid with which the synthesis of 1,3‐benzothiazine and quinazoline derivatives has been achieved, respectively. It was also found that 3‐hydroxypyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid and 2‐hydroxynicotinic acid using a modified method gave 2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrido[2,3‐e][1,3]oxazin‐4‐one and 2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐pyrido[3,2‐e][1,3]oxazin‐4‐one, respectively. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by the analysis of their IR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectra.
