Synthesis of 2-Benzoxazinones (2H-1,4-Benzoxazin-2-ones)

Recent Literature


A transition-metal-free alkylation and acylation of C(sp2)-H bonds in biologically relevant 2-benzoxazinones with 1,4-dihydropyridines offers excellent functional group compatibility and a broad substrate scope.

Efficient reactions of α-keto acids with 2-aminobenzamides, 2-aminobenzenethiols, benzene-1,2-diamines, and 2-aminophenols provide quinazolinones, benzothiazoles, quinoxalinones, and benzoxazinones under catalyst-free conditions, using water as the solvent. Products can be easily purified through filtration and washing with ethanol (or crystallized).

Cyclizations of α-phenylglyoxylic acids with ortho-functionalized anilines in deep eutectic solvents (DES) provide 2-arylbenzothiazoles (from o-aminothiophenols), 3-aryl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones (from o-aminophenols), and 3-arylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones (from o-phenylenediamines) without the addition of other catalysts. The title compounds were obtained in good yields under mild conditions.
