3-Substituted benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides

摘要

This invention relates to 3-(phenyl/naphthyl)-benz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxides wherein the 3-phenyl or the 3-naphthyl group is substituted in the para position with hydroxy blocked with certain protecting groups. These compounds are useful as intermediates in the synthesis of certain 3,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydrobenz[d]isothiazole-1,1-dioxide dyes which find utility, for example, as photographic optical filter agents and filter agent precursors.
