Processes for the preparation of the antiinflammatory agent piroxicam and intermediates leading thereto, the first of which comprises reacting N-methylsaccharin with (N-2-pyridyl)haloacetamides and alkyl haloacetates in the presence of an appropriate base to give, respectively, piroxicam and alkyl 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxylate 1,1-dioxides, intermediates which can be converted into piroxicam; and the second of which comprises reacting a novel alkyl 2-(2-methyl-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzisosulfonazol-3-yl)-2-haloac etate with a metal hydride to give alkyl 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxylate 1,1-dioxides, intermediates leading to piroxicam. |
