A variety of new 3-carbamoyl-4-hydroxy-2H-1, 2-benzothiazine 1, 1-dioxides of structure I1 was prepared and evaluated an antiinflammatory agents. Three synthetic methods were employed. Method A, consisting of base-catalyzed carbamoylation of ketone I by isocyanates, and method B, involving aminolysis of P-keto ester 111, are modifications of previously described processes. In the completely new method C, the enamine IV, derived ...
