Synthesis and thermal behaviour of new benzo-1,2-thiazine long-chain aryl-piperazine derivatives

Abstract

A series of potential biologically active 2-[3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)propyl]-3-(4-substituted-benzoyl)-4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides was synthesized in a straightforward manner by condensation of respective 3-substituted-4-hydroxy-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides with 1-(1-chloropropyl)-4-phenylpiperazine. The structures of all of the newly formed compounds were identified by elemental analysis, FTIR and 1H NMR. The synthesized compounds were subjected to preliminary evaluation using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the existence of multiple crystal forms. The DSC scans for all compounds show more than one endothermic effect, which might suggest dynamic proton transfer between two or three possible tautomeric forms: O-keto/O-enol, O-enol/O-keto and O-keto/O-keto/CH2 in crystals 2-[3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)propyl]-3-(4-substituted-benzoyl)-4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxides.
