Synthesis of 1,4-Benzoxazin-3-ones

Recent Literature


An efficient ligand-free copper-catalyzed cascade reaction of substituted chloroacetamides with 2-halophenols provides a broad range of 2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-(4H)-ones.

A regioselective one-pot synthesis of 2-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazines under microwave heating starts from commercially available 2-aminophenols. Base-mediated regioselective O-alkylation with 2-bromoalkanoates gives acyclic intermediates. A subsequent intramolecular amidation reaction furnishes the desired products in good yields.
