The reactions of benzo[e][2,1]thiazine-4-chloro-3-carbaldehydes 1 and benzo[e][2,1]thiazine-4-chloro-3-carbonitriles 2 with a number of oxidizing and reducing agents are reported. A number of new, highly functionalized benzo[e][2,1]thiazine derivatives having potential biological activity were synthesized and described.

The title compound, C(25)H(21)ClO(2), was synthesized via the three-component coupling of 4-chloro-benzaldehyde, 2-naphthol and 5,5-dimethyl-cyclo-hexane-1,3-dione. The pyran ring adopts a boat conformation, while the cyclo-hexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. The 4-chloro-phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the pyran ring [dihedral angle = 87.39 (1)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules ar...

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(25)H(21)NO(4), the pyran ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, while the cyclo-hexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. The 4-nitro-phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the pyran ring [dihedral angle = 89.39 (1)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
