2-Chloro-3-quinolinecarboxaldehyde in the Synthesis of Condensed Quinoline Systems. 1. Synthesis of Derivatives of 3,4-Dihydro-2H-[1,3]thiazino[6,5-b]quinolines

A method for the synthesis of derivatives of previously unknown heterocyclic systems - 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3]thiazino6,5-b]quinolines - has been developed based on 7,8-dimethyl-2-chloro-3-quinolinecarboxaldehyde via the consecutive steps of conversion into its Schiff's base with a primary amine, reduction to the corresponding aminomethyl derivative, conversion to the thiourea with isothiocyanates, and heterocyclization by intramolecular substitution of the chlorine atom.
