Synthesis of Benzothiazinones from Benzoyl Thiocarbamates: Application to Clinical Candidates for Tuberculosis Treatment

Benzothiazinones are a structural motif found in biologically active compounds, such as the clinical candidates BTZ-043 and Macozinone for the treatment of tuberculosis. We describe a robust, two-step method to synthesize 2-amino-substituted benzothiazinones from benzoyl thiocarbamates, which were prepared in a one-pot procedure from benzoyl chlorides. The intramolecular cyclization and ethoxy displacement steps were also amenable to adoption in continuous flow as exemplified by select substrates.
