The reaction can be set up both in a discontinuous or continuous process, the latter protocol explored with a Cellular Process Chemistry (CPC) reactor. Key words thiazine - cyclization - continuous process Full Text References References 1 Millonig RC. Goldlust MB. Maguire WE. Rubin B. Schulze E. Wojnar RJ. Turkheimer AR. Schreiber WF. Brittain RJ.
