Benzothiazines in organic synthesis. Synthesis of fluorescent 7-amino-2,1-benzothiazines

Fluorescent 7-amino-2,1-benzothiazines were prepared in high yields using the palladium-catalyzed reaction of 4-amino-2-chlorobenzaldehydes with a sulfoximine or the reaction of 7-fluoro-2,1-benzothiazines with amines.
