• -containing heterocycles intensively studied in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. In the present paper, a new synthetic approach to pyrrolobenzothiazoles is developed based on 1,4-thiazine ring contraction in 3-aroylpyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzothiazine-1,2,4-triones under the action of nucleophiles. The

Keywords: 1,4-benzothiazine; 1,3-benzothiazole; 1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones; nitrogen heterocycle; sulfur heterocycle; Introduction Pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole (PBTA) is an angularly fused sulfur and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold. Its derivatives are

• , recently, we have reported a new class of FPDs, aroylpyrrolobenzothiazinetriones (APBTTs) 1 (Figure 2) [37][38], whose structural features allowed us to assume a possibility of the development of a new approach to PBTAs via a nucleophile-induced ring contraction in the 1,4-benzothiazine moiety of compounds
