Synthesis and biological studies of triazolo-/thiadiazolo-benzoxazines.

Diethyl bromomalonate (2) with an equimolar amount of 2-aminophenol (1) in the presence of sodium fluoride undergoes a cyclization reaction to form 2H,4H-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-1,4-benzoxazine (3). Furthermore, compound 3 undergoes a condensation reaction with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of methanol to yield 2H,4H-2-hydrazinocarbonyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-1,4-benzoxazine (4), which on further reaction with aryl isothiocyanates gave 2H,4H-2-[ (4'-substituted)-phenylthiosemicarbazino]-carbonyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-1,4-benzoxazine (5). Compound 5 on treatment with NaOH, cone.
