A novel one-pot sulfonylation/intramolecular thia-Michael protocol is reported for the synthesis of 1,5,2-dithiazepine 1,1-dioxides. Sulfonylation between cysteine ethyl ester/cysteamine and 2-chloroethanesulfonyl chloride, followed by in situ intramolecular thia-Michael addition, was achieved and afforded the titled 1,5,2-dithiazepine-1,1-dioxide scaffolds. Diversification was demonstrated for future library synthesis.
