Abstract

Thermal ring transformations of 2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,4- and 1,5-benzothiazepine 1-oxides in the presence of catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid are described. trans-Sulfoxides (having methyl group cis to the sulfoxide oxygen) underwent ring expansion to afford benzothiazocine derivatives, whereas cis isomers interestingly afforded ring contraction products, indicating that the ring transformations proceeded stereospecifically.
