5.1.3. General procedure for the preparation
of benzoxazine derivatives (4p–s)
A mixture of the appropriate ester (10 mmol) and
2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride (10 mmol) in absolute
ethanol and triethylamine (10 mmol) solution was introduced
into the single reaction vessel and simultaneously the desired
parameters (microwave power, temperature and time) were
set as reported in Table 3. After 18 min the reaction was
cooled and the ethanol removed under reduced pressure. The
residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography
(ethyl acetate/n-hexane 6:4 v/v, as eluent). Fractions contain-
ing the product were combined, dried (Na2SO4) and concen-
trated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was crys-
tallized from appropriate solvents.
