A novel one‐step ‘Inverse Indigo Synthesis’ of the Δ 2,2′ ‐bi(3,4‐dihydro‐3‐oxo‐2 H ‐1, 4‐benzothiazine) chromophore is described. Structure, substitution reactions, mechanism of formation, colour and other relevant properties of this system have been investigated in relation to known thioindigos. A synthesis of the basic skeleton of one of the ‘Trichosiderins’, the colouring matters of human red hair, is reported.
