The newly developed method tolerates a wide range of substrates in moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, this method is advantageous over previous ones for the easy synthesis of reactants. %K 4H-3 %K 1-benzothiazine-2-thione %K carbon disulfide %K (E)-3-(2-aminoaryl)acrylate %K (E)-3-(2-aminoaryl)acrylonitrile %K Michael addition %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.9.49
