2’- phenyl -4-phenyloxazoline

Diels-Alder reactions of benzo[fc]furan-43-diones and benzo[b]furan-4,7-diones have been reported <99H(50)1137>. The activation of a C-0 bond in a Mn(C0>3 complexed benzo[i>]furan was examined <99AG2343>. The enzyme-catalyzed dealkylation of (+)-marmesin to the phototoxic psoralene (and acetone) has been investigated <99AG413>. A hi yielding synthesis of bidentate bisoxazoline DBFOX/Ph [(R,R)-4,6-dibenzofutandiyl-2 2 -bis(4-phenyloxazoline)] was developed. DBFOX/Ph was subsequently tested in enantio-selective conjugate radical additions onto 3-(3-phenyl-2-propenoyl)-2-oxazolidinone <99TA2417>. 

There has been little systematic study of the chemistry of 1,4-oxazepines. Vigorous acid hydrolysis cleaves the amide linkage in (369 R1=Ph, R2 = H) and recyclization gives 2-o-hydroxyphenyl-5-phenyloxazoline and l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l,8-dihydroxy-3-phenyl-isoquinoline. The l,4-benzoxazepin-5-one (353) can be alkylated at N but on treatment with triethyloxonium fluoroborate it is converted to 5-ethoxy-3-phenyl-l,4-benzoxazepine — one of the very few examples of a fully unsaturated 1,4-oxazepine ring. This product is isomerized to l-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-3-phenylisoquinoline when boiled in methanol. The 4,l-benzoxazepine-2,5-diones (348) are converted to quinazolines by reaction with ammonia. The dihydro-l,4-oxazepin-5-one (343) can be acetylated at nitrogen and bromi-nated at the 6-position.

The 2-oxazolin-S-ones are excellent acylating agents for a variety of enzymes. Thus, 2-phenyloxazolin-5-one and 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2-oxazolin-S-one react with a-chymotrypsin, trypsin, and papain to form stable acyl enzymes.15-18 The azlactone from p-nitrobenzoylvaline reacted with a-chymotrypsin and trypsin, and it was observed that the enzymic activity of chymotrypsin decreased with increasing number of p-nitrobenzoylvaline residues.19 The reaction of a-chymotrypsin with 2 has been studied extensively.20-25 In this reaction, the oxazolone dis-...

In addition to the above-mentioned reactions, Murai s group developed several other ruthenium-catalyzed carbonylations of arenes with similar reaction conditions (Scheme 6.19). Here, aza-heterocycle [58], 2-phenyloxazolines [59], iV-py-ridylindolines [60], A -arylpyrazoles [61, 62], and 2-phenylpyridines [63], were carbonylated into the corresponding products with Ru3(CO)i2 or Ru/C as the catalyst. Besides these novel carbonylation reactions, ruthenium-catalyzed de-carbonylative cleavage of alkyl phenyl ketones producing phenyl derivatives were also discovered by this group [64].
