A new series of 8-chloro-5,5-dioxoimidazo[1,2-b][1,4,2]benzodithiazine derivatives 8-25 with heteroaryloxycarbonyl or heteroarylcarbamoyl substituents at position 7 have been synthesized as potential antitumor agents. In this procedure a novel type of mixed anhydride 7 was prepared from 8-chloro-5,5-dioxoimidazo[1,2-b][1,4,2]benzodithiazine-7-carboxylic acid 6 and methanesulfonyl
