Synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazines

Recent Literature

A Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction between 1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles and halohydrins provides 2,6-substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazines under basic conditions. The reaction is proposed to undergo a rhodium carbenoid 1,3-insertion into O-H followed by an annulation.

A solvent- and metal-free regioselective cyclization affords 1,4-oxazine and 1,4-oxazepine derivatives as exo-dig products. Substrates for the cyclization step can be produced in a highly diastereomeric fashion by Grignard reaction as key synthetic step following Cram’s rule.
