Abstract

This work represents the first example of a gold-catalyzed formation of 1,3-thiazine/1,3-thiazinane by means of a catalytic approach and further uncommon isolation of the two tautomers. The developed protocol gives rise to a broad scope of 1,3-thiazine derivatives with excellent yields in short reaction times. Interestingly, different isomers could be obtained depending on the state of the compound, and in the crystal state the 1,3-thiazinane isomer is obtained, while in solution the 1,3-thiazine is the unique isomer. This work represents an interesting approach for the synthesis of potential biologically relevant molecules and a crucial precedent in tautomerism isolation and characterization.
