The scope of the acid-mediated 3-component synthesis of thiadiazines was investigated. A selective functionalization of the six-membered heterocyclic core structure was accomplished by sequential alkylations, saponifications, and coupling reactions. Several new analogs of a dihydropyrimidinone Hsp70 chaperone agonist, MAL1-271, showed promising activity in a cell based model of Huntington's disease.
