Ring-Opening Cyclization (ROC) of Aziridines with Propargyl Alcohols: Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazines

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 88(7), С. 4504 - 4518

Опубликована: Март 27, 2023

Activated aziridines react with propargyl alcohols in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as Lewis acid catalyst following an SN2-type ring-opening mechanism to furnish corresponding amino ether derivatives. Those ethers further undergo intramolecular hydroamination via 6-exo-dig cyclization and tetrabutylammonium triflate salt additive under one-pot two-step reaction conditions. However, for nonracemic examples, steps were conducted two-pot The works well without any additional solvents. final 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazine products obtained 13 84% yield 78 98% enantiomeric excess (for examples).
