The ring transformations of dichloro-¦Â-lactam-fused 2-aryl-1,3-benzothiazines with sodium methoxide were investigated. With 2?equiv of base, the dichloro-¦Â-lactam derivatives underwent rearrangement and dihydro-1,4-benzothiazepines, 3,4-substituted isoquinolines and substituted thiazole disulfides were isolated. A possible reaction mechanism is proposed for the simultaneous formation of the novel products. The formation of isoquinoline and thiazole derivatives can be explained by sulfur extrusion and addition sequences.
