Ruthenium- and palladium-catalyzed consecutive coupling and cyclization of aromatic sulfoximines with phenylboronic acids: an efficient route to dibenzothiazines

Abstract

A ruthenium-catalyzed ortho arylation of aromatic sulfoximines with aromatic boronic acids followed by intramolecular cyclization in the presence of a palladium catalyst, providing dibenzothiazine derivatives in two consecutive steps, is described.
