Procedure: Cesium carbonate (18.0 g, 55 mmol) and benzyl bromide (6.6 mL, 55 mmol) were added to a solution of N-(2-formylphenyl)methanesulfonamide (5.50 g, 27.6 mmol) in acetonitrile (120 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 16 h and then cooled to ambient temperature. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (200 mL) and filtered. The filtration cake was washed with EtOAc (200 mL) and the combined organics were concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc/hexane=1:5) to afford 1-benzyl-1H-benzo[c][1,2]thiazine 2,2-dioxide (6.5 g, 87% yield) as a colorless oil. cooled to ambient temperature filtered The filtration cake was washed with EtOAc (200 mL) the combined organics were concentrated The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc/hexane=1:5)

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Manganese dioxide (85%, 45.0 g, 0.52 mol) was added to a solution of N-[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]methanesulfonamide (13.0 g, 65 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) at ambient temperature under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 h and then filtered through a pad of Celite. The pad was washed with dichloromethane/methanol (1:1) and the combined organics were concentrated to afford N-(2-Formylphenyl)methanesulfonamide (10.1 g, 78% yield) as a yellow solid. filtered through a pad of Celite The pad was washed with dichloromethane/methanol (1:1) the combined organics were concentrated

Procedure: The title compound was synthesized according to the method described in WO 2008/073956 A2. To a solution of N-(2-formylphenyl)methanesulfonamide (2.0 g, 10 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (45 mL) was added cesium carbonate (6.5 g, 20 mmol) and 4-methoxybenzylchloride (2.7 mL, 20 mmol). The mixture was heated to 50° C. and stirred for 48 hours, diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered through Celite, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (50-100% methylene chloride in hexanes) to give the product (0.9 g, 31%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 7.40-7.32 (m, 2H), 7.28-7.24 (m, 3H), 7.16-7.11 (m, 2H), 6.85-6.81 (m, 3H), 5.15 (s, 2H), 3.77 (s, 3H). filtered through Celite concentrated The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (50-100% methylene chloride in hexanes)
