Abstract: A novel simple three-step synthesis of 3-arylated 5,6-dimethoxybenzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxide is reported. ortho-Lithiation of N-tert-butyl-3,4-dimethoxybenzenesulfonamide followed by reaction with aryl aldehydes gave carbinol sulfonamides, which were oxidized into ketosulfonamides and converted to the ketimines via TMSCl/NaI/MeCN reagent mediated novel cyclization.
