description

1,4-Benzoxazin-3-ones are important structural motifs in natural products and bioactive compounds. Usually the synthesis of benzoxazinones requires transition metal catalysts and pre-functionalized substrates, e.g. aryl halides. However, the anodic C,H amination of phenoxy acetates offers a very efficient and sustainable access to these heterocycles. The herein presented electrochemical protocol can be applied to a broad scope of alkylated substrates. Even tert-butyl moieties or halogen substituents are compatible with this versatile method.
