Abstract
The reaction of indole (1) with sodium borohydride in trifluoroacetic acid gives, successively, indoline (3), N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)indoline (4), and 1,1,1-trifluoro-2, 2-bis[5- (N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)indolinyl]ethane (5), whose structure is established by chemical and spectral means. Similar reactions are observed with N-methylaniline (8) and anisole, but not with dibenzazepines 13 and 15, which give only N-trifluoroethylation.

Abstract
Reaction of ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate (2a) L-cysteine ethyl ester (1) gave 3,6-diethoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-thiazine (3a). Similarly, 2-chloroacetoacetanilides 2b-2d reacted with 1 to give 6-carbamoyl-5-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-l,4-thiazines 3b-3d. Ethyl 4-bromoacetoacetate (4a) reacted with L-cysteine ethyl ester (1) to give 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-(ethoxycarbonylmethylene)tetrahydro-2H-l,4-thiazine (5a) in 62% yield. Reaction of 4-bromoacetoacetanilides 4b and 4c with 1 gave 5-(carbamoylmethylene)tetrahydro-2H-1,4-thiazines 5b and 5c, respectively.
