Abstract
The synthesis of benzoxathiins bearing a retroamide function is described from 8-hydroxythiochroman, the key step involving the synthesis of the benzoxathiin ring through a sulfonium salt. These new melatonin analogues were evaluated on human receptors MT1 and MT2 and have a similar affinity to that of melatonin itself.
