1,2-Benzisothiazole 1,1-dioxide: a convenient synthesis. The question of the possible aromaticity of 1,2-benzothiazepine 1,1-dioxides
Abstract
A convenient synthesis of 1,2-benzisothiazole 1,1-dioxide from toluene-o-sulphonamide is reported, and this allows the preparation of a number of 1,2-benzothiazepine 1,1-dioxides bearing hydrogen atoms in the seven-membered ring; 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy suggests that the later is not aromatic.
