Abstract

A novel domino sequence for the rapid assembly of 1,3-syn-substituted oxazines is reported. Mechanistically, the one-pot procedure is based on a three-step sequential process involving a hemiaminalization and Tsuji–Trost reaction. The process generates up to two new stereogenic centers in a concise and convergent fashion from simple and readily available starting materials.

  • 11 In all cases, stereochemical assignment was based on NMR methods. Scheme 4 shows an example.
  • 12 A yield of 56% was obtained in the absence of base for the analogous reaction described in entry 5 (Table 2).
  • 13 Experimental Procedure: Under an argon atmosphere, imine 10 (62.2 mg, 0.24 mmol), allylpalladium(II) chloride dimer (7.3 mg, 10 mol%) and triphenylphosphine (15.8 mg, 30 mol%) were added to a well-dried Schlenk flask. Then, a solution of the respective carbonate (0.2 mmol) in anhyd toluene (0.33 M, 0.61 mL) was added to the flask and stirred until all solids were dissolved. After cooling to –78 °C, the potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide solution (0.5 M in toluene) was added dropwise (40 μL, 10 mol%). After 15 min the reaction mixture was warmed to r.t. and stirred at this temperature until complete conversion. After addition of a sat. aq solution of NH4Cl (2 mL), the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3 ×), washed with H2O and brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with EtOAc–hexane (1:16) as eluent to afford the oxazines with the indicated yields and selectivities.
