This invention relates to a process for the syn-
thesis of 1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamides, and in parti-
cular to the preparation of N-aryl-2-methyl-4-hydroxy-2H-
1~2-benzothiazine~3-carboxamide l,l-dioxides, a class of ~
compounds useful as anti-inflammatory agents. ~ -;Synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2-alkyl-4-oxo-2H-1,2- - -
benzothiazine-3-carboxamide l,1-dioxides has been previous-
ly achieved by amination of the corresponding 3 carboxylic
acid ester or by treatment o the parent 3,4-dihydro-2-alkyl-
4-oxo-2H-1,2-benzothiazine 1,1-dioxide with the appropriate
isocyanate (Lombardino, et al., J. Med. Chem., ~, 1171
~1971) and Zinnes, et al., ibid. ~ , 43 (1973) and United
States Patent 3,591,584). In addition, Zinnes, et al , loc
cit., has taught the preparation of 3-carboxamides by treat-
men~of the pyrrolidine enamine of 3~4-dihydro-2-methyl 4-
oxo-2H-1,2-benzothiazine l,l-dioxide with phosgene ~ollowed
by treatment of the resulting 3-carbonyl chloride with an
appropriate amine.
A process for the synthesis of N-aryl-2-alkyl-4-

best conducted in a reaation-inert solvent. By such a ~olv-
ent, or mixtures thereof, is contemplated those which, under
the conditions of the instant procesR, do not enter into
appreciable reaction with either the starting reagents or
product~, and adequately solubilize the reactant It is
preferred that relativelv polar solvents be employed. Suit-
able solvents or mixtures thereof which are included in this
group are di~lower)alkylsulfoxides, aqueous lower alkanols,
di(lower)alkyl(lower)alkanoic amides and hexa(lower)alkyl-
phosphoramides. Water may also be used in combination with
any of these solvents or mixtures thereof. Favored solvents
for the present process invention are dimethylformamide,
ethanol and dimethylsuloxide. The especially preferred
solvent i8 ethanol. It is also preferred, although not a
requirement, that the employed solvent be water-miscible.
Regarding the temperature range, 0-100C. is
operative, with a preferred temperature of about 25C~
Reaction time is not critical and is inherently
dependent on concentration, reaction temperature and reac~
tivity of the starting materials~ In general, when tempera-
tures of about 25C. are e~ployed, the reaction time will
vary be~ween 12-18 hours.

tion solvent be followed by the addition o~ the hydride,
alkoxide or hydroxlde of the desired alkali metal or alkal-
ine earth metal, and this followed by the addition of the
methylating agen~.
Regarding the molar ratio o~ reactants, to ensure
completeness of reaction a~ least one mole of the methylat
ing agent should be employed per mole of salt. Larger
amounts can be used without markedly affecting ~he course
of the reaction and are preferred. This excess, for practical
reasons, aan aomprise as much a a 100-200% excess of said
agent, although larger amounts can be employed.
The methylating agents employed in the present
process are amiliar to those skilled in the axt and are
methyl halides, dimethylsulfate, methyl, alkyl- or aryl-
sulfonate esters or diazomethane. Preferred are methylbromidel methyl iodide, dime~hylsulfate, methyl methyl-
qulfonate and methyl p-tosylate; especially preferred is
; methyl iodideO
As previously mentioned, the compounds of the
presen~ process invention are useful as anti-inflammatory
agents, and United States Patent 3,591,584 teaches how to
use these compounds for this utility~
The intermediates useful in ~he present process
are prepared from ~ompounds known to tho~e ~killed in the
art, and are herein described.
