Synthesis of substituted 2-amino-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazines and 2-iminotetrahydro-1,3-thiazines

N-Aryl-N′-(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-2-pentyl)thioureas are cyclized in acidic media to 4,4,6-trimethyl-2-arylimino-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazines, the methylation of which with methyl iodide gives 4,4,6-trimethyl-2-methylarylamino-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-thiazines. 3,4,4,6-Tetramethyl-2-aryliminotetrahydro-1,3-thiazines were synthesized by cyclization of Naryl-N′-methyl-N′-(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-2-pentyl)thioureas.
