Oxazines rearrangement

Treatment of 7V-benzyl-l,2-benzisoxazolin-3-one with base produced a benzoxazine-4-one (see Scheme 88). The base catalyzed rearrangement of the 2-methyl-3-phenyl-l,2-benzoisoxolium salt to an oxazine is believed to proceed via a similar intermediate (67AHC(8)277). A number of other decompositions could possibly proced via this proposed route (74HCA376, 67AHC(8)277), which has also been postulated for the rearrangement of a variety of isoxazolium salts, e.g. the conversion of (200) into (202) (Section 4.16.3.3.2(i)(b)). 

The simple ring opening of tetrahydro-1,3-oxazine derivatives is not the only possible reaction of these heterocyclic compounds catalyzed by mineral acids. An interesting rearrangement of 6-aryl-6-alkyltetrahydro-l,3-oxazines when warmed with concentrated hydrochloric acid was found by Schmiedle and Mansfield ... 

Gabriel has demonstrated the instability of 5,6-dihydro-1,3-4/f-oxazines by reacting the hydrobromide of 2-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-l,3-4i -oxazine (55) with water. Ring opening occurs with the formation of 3-aminopropylbenzoate which is rearranged into 3-benzamido-propanol. 

The initial series of major tranquilizers consists of alkylated derivatives of 4-aryl-4-hydroxypiperidines. Construction of this ring system is accomplished by a set of rather unusual reactions. Condensation of methylstyrenes with formaldehyde and ammonium chloride afford the corresponding hexahydro-1,3-oxazines (119). Heating these oxazines in the presence of acid leads to rearrangement with loss of water to the tetrahydropyridines. Scheme 1 shows a possible reaction pathway for these transformations. Addition of hydrogen bromide affords the expected 4-bromo compound (121). This last is easily displaced by water to lead to the desired alcohol (122) The side chain (123) is obtained by Friedel-Crafts acylation of p-fluorobenzene with 4-chloro-butyryl chloride. Alkylation of the appropriate arylpiperidinol with 123 affords the desired butyrophenone derivative. Thus,... 

The "one-pot domino reaction" of A/-benzylaniline with benzaldehyde in refluxing toluene results in a mixture of oxazolidines via a transient azomethine ylide (Scheme 14) <96S367>. The 2-benzoyloxazolidine 69 rearranges spontaneously to the oxazine 70 <96JHC1271>. The ring-closure of derivatives 71 (R = H or Me) of (f )-phenylglycinol to oxazolidin-2-ones... 

The pyrimido[2,l+][l,3]oxazine 322 rearranged into the imidazo[l,2- ]pyrimidine 323 on heating in DMF in the presence of benzoic acid (Equation 35) <2000NN1381>. 

The 2-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-[l,2,4]oxadiazolo[3,2-f][l,4]oxazine 370 rearranged on heating into the 3-hydroxy-pyrimido[2,l-f][l,4]oxazine 371 (Equation 41) <2005USP2005/267105>. 

Second, one should take into account the stability of nitroso acetals (343) associated with the possibility of their rearrangement to give oxazines (344). In addition, it should be taken into account that cyclic nitroso acetals (343) can be transformed into halo derivatives of dihydrooxazines (345). (These transformations of nitroso acetals (343) will be considered in more detail in Section 3.5.4.3.3.)... 

Interestingly, Zn(OTf)2 is of little use for the rearrangement of cyclic six-membered N -siloxynitroso acetals (507a-g) into the corresponding 5,6-dihydro-4H -oxazines (508a-g) (Scheme 3.263, Table 3.35) (264, 535). 

In qualitative terms, the rearrangement reaction is considerably more efficient for the oxime acetate 107b than for the oxime ether 107a. As a result, the photochemical reactivity of the oxime acetates 109 and 110 was probed. Irradiation of 109 for 3 hr, under the same conditions used for 107, affords the cyclopropane 111 (25%) as a 1 2 mixture of Z.E isomers. Likewise, DCA-sensitized irradiation of 110 for 1 hr yields the cyclopropane derivative 112 (16%) and the dihydroisoxazole 113 (18%). It is unclear at this point how 113 arises in the SET-sensitized reaction of 110. However, this cyclization process is similar to that observed in our studies of the DCA-sensitized reaction of the 7,8-unsaturated oximes 114, which affords the 5,6-dihydro-4//-l,2-oxazines 115 [68]. A possible mechanism to justify the formation of 113 could involve intramolecular electrophilic addition to the alkene unit in 116 of the oxygen from the oxime localized radical-cation, followed by transfer of an acyl cation to any of the radical-anions present in the reaction medium. 

The presumed mechanism of the oxidative ring enlargement is shown for 52 (R = Ph). The first step is the oxidation of the isoxazolidine to the unstable N-oxide 58, which rearranges to the unstable dipolar 59 this yields the methylene nitrone 60 by tautomerization. 60 gives oxazine 53, through ring-chain tautomerization (79JOC1819). 

Bailey et al. used this oxidative rearrangement reaction for the synthesis of the regioisomeric e -fused 1,3-oxazine derivatives 61-63 (82JOC857). 

Beckmann rearrangement of 2,2,5,5-tetramethyltetrahydro-3-furanone oxime (362) afforded 1,3-oxazine 363 in 64% yield (equation 158). 1,4-Oxazines 365 were obtained by acidic deprotection-spirocyclization of oxime ethers 364 (equation 159) . 

Amidation of W-BOC-tetrahydro-l,2-oxazine-6-carboxylic acid 47 with free oxanipecotic acid afforded amide 48 <2003TL3447>. The 3-methyl-substituted 1,2-oxazine Woxide 280 can be selectively transformed into 2-silyloxy-1,2-oxazines 281, upon treatment with silylating reagents (ClSiMe3). Now, the synthetic utility of 2-silyloxy-l,2-oxazine 281 is extended and it can be rearranged into 3-silyloxymethyl-l,2-oxazine 282 and can further react with morpholine to produce 3-morpholinomethyl-l,2-oxazine 283 which exists in a tautomeric equilibrium with the corresponding open-chain oxime <2003JOC9477>. 

The cycloaddition reactions of the unsymmetrical a-diazo-/3-diketone, 2-diazo-l-phenyl-l,3-butanedione 330, with diaryl imines 331 took place with high regioselectivity, affording exclusively the 6-methyl-5-phenyl-substituted 477-l,3-oxazin-4-ones 332 via the acetylphenylketene, generated by the thermal Wolff rearrangement of 330 (Equation 32) <2002HAC165>. 

When the unsaturated Y-benzoyl a-amino ester 443 was treated with MCPBA, the oxirane 444 formed first immediately underwent an intramolecular rearrangement with cleavage of the oxirane ring by attack of the amide oxygen to give a 3 1 mixture of two cis- and /ra r-isomers of 5,6-dihydro-47/-l,3-oxazine derivatives 445 and 446, the configurations of which were determined via their 0-3,5-dinitrobenzoyl derivatives (Scheme 85) <2003M69>.
