Benzisothiazol‐3‐ones through a Metal‐Free Intramolecular N–S Bond Formation

Abstract

The highly efficient synthesis of benzoisothiazol‐3‐ones from thiobenzamides has been described with good functional group compatibility and excellent yields. This work represents the first example of selectfluor‐promoted N–S bond formation processes. This method provides a facile approach to access various important bioactive benzoisothiazol‐3‐ones.
