Synthesis of Multisubstituted 1,4-Dihydrobenzoxazin-2-ones through a One-Pot Nucleophilic N-Alkylation/C-Alkylation of Cyclic α-Imino Esters

2017

A nucleophilic N-alkylation of 2-oxobenzoxazine-2-carboxylates with organozinc reagents with good selectivities and in moderate to good yields is described. Moreover, the synthesis of multisubstituted 1,4-dihydrobenzoxazine-2-ones bearing a tetrasubstituted carbon atom via a one-pot N-alkylation/C-alkylation reactions is reported.
