The phenothiazine system was modified with the pyridine moiety. The very rare double Smiles rearrangement of the SN type was observed. The reaction could lead to four isomeric nitropyridinyl dipyridothiazines. The rearrangement pathway was concluded from NOESY, COSY, HSQC and HMBC spectra. X-ray analysis showed unexpectedly planar dipyridothiazine ring system.
