Abstract

Treatment of benzothiazines 3 and 8 with butyllithium resulted in deprotonation at C3 to afford the corresponding organolithium species. These compounds could be trapped with a variety of electrophiles to give products in high yield. Some limitations to the processes chiefly based on steric effects were uncovered. Interesting and potentially useful side reactions were also established.
