Tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines, synthesis

Synthesis of a C(8)-C(18) segment of the larger fragment of lb using the same basic strategy is depicted in Scheme 25. Here, hydroxy ketone 176 was subjected to syn-selective (dr of crude product=90 10) reductive amination [42] with sodium cyanoborohydride and benzylamine followed by tetrahydro-oxazine formation using aqueous formaldehyde. The resulting heterocycle 182 was then converted to unsaturated ester 184 by successive desilylation, oxidation, and entirely (Z)-selective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination. Re-...

In an attempt to improve the enantioselectivity, following the precedent from Ponsford and Southgate,188 Hashimoto demonstrated that the tetrahydro-l,3-oxazine system gave great selectivity in the C-H activation reaction. Indeed, highly selective formation of the / -lactam 60 was accomplished in up to 94% yield and 96% ee using Rh2(V-PTA)4 (Equation (51)).189 This strategy was applied in a novel approach to a key intermediate 61 in the synthesis of trinem 62 (Equation (52)).190,191... 

Enantiomerically pure tetrahydro-l//-pyrrolo[2, l -acrylamides derived from proline (see Section 11.11.7.4), are versatile intermediates for the synthesis of natural products or drugs. Compound 86a was submitted to debromination with Bu3SnH followed by ring opening in KOH and further reduction with BHj to give diol 89 that was then easily transformed into (A)-4-(2,2,4-trimethyl-l,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-lT>utanol 90, a key intermediate for )-frontalin, <2002TA155>,... 

The simplest and most commonly used method for the synthesis of tetrahydro-l,3-oxazines is the ring closure of the corresponding 1,3-amino alcohols with oxo compounds [80H(14)1333]. The parent ring system is known merely in the case of 3,1-perhydrobenzoxazines 18 cis or trans R = H, Ph) it was prepared from cis- and rrans-2-hydroxymethyl-l-cyclohex-... 

To increase the yields of the ring closure reactions, a new method was developed that was successfully applied for the synthesis of alicyclic fused systems of both the parent oxazolidine-2-thione and tetrahydro-1,3-oxazine-2-thione (85S1149). As an example, the synthesis of 2-thioxoperhydro-l,3-benzoxazine 103 is described. The dithiocarbamate 101, prepared from the amino alcohol 100, carbon disulfide and triethylamine, was treated with ethyl chloroformate in the presence of triethylamine, to give the thioxo derivative 103 via the transition state 102 (85S1149). In this way, the fused-skeleton thioxooxazines (91, X = S, 92) can be prepared with considerably higher yields (50-70%) than by the earlier methods (85S1149). 

Hydrolytic reactions can also be applied in the synthesis of aldehydes or ketones via the corresponding 1,3-oxazine derivatives. The anion formed from 3-methyl-2-(4-pyridyl)tetrahydro-l,3-oxazine 155 on treatment with BuLi proved to react with various electrophiles (alkyl halides, carboxylic esters, acid chlorides, or aldehydes) exclusively at position 2 of the 1,3-oxazine ring and not at the pyridine nitrogen atom. The readily formed 2,2-disubstituted-l,3-oxazine... 

The zinc alkoxides of syn- or /7-3-(/3-hydroxyacyl)oxazolidin-2-ones underwent stereoselective rearrangement under mild conditions to afford syn- or /7-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)tetrahydro-l,3-oxazine-2,4-diones in good yields. The procedure was utilized in the synthesis of ( )-trisubstituted 0 ,/3-unsaturated amides and acids <2005OBC2976, 2005SL1090>. 

Suitably protected chiral tetrahydro-l,4-oxazin-2-ones can be deprotonated at the 3-position and the resulting enolates alkylated to give, after oxazine hydrolysis, a-amino acids. The advantage of the method shown in Scheme 13 using compound 170 to give 163 is that it can be used in the synthesis of a-quaternary amino acids <1999EJ01967>. 

Azomethine ylides derived from (55,6/ )-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-5,6-diphenyl-1,4-oxazin-2-one (53) and various aldehydes have been prepared by Williams and co-workers (87,88) (Scheme 12.19). In a recent communication they reported the application of the azomethine ylide 54 in the asymmetric total synthesis of spirotryprostatin B 56 (88). The azomethine ylide 54 is preferentially formed with ( )-geometry due to the buLkiness of the aldehyde substituent. The in situ formed azomethine ylide 54 reacted with ethyl oxindolylidene acetate to give the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition adduct 55 in 82% yield as the sole isomer. This reaction, which sets four contiguous stereogenic centers, constmcts the entire prenylated tryprophyl moiety of spirotryprostatin B (56), in a single step. 

Racemic morpholine-3-carboxylic acid (4-oxapipecolic acid, 18) is prepared by a multistep synthesis, starting from 3-methoxymorpholine 205 It can, however, be obtained as optically pure (3S)-morpholine-3-carboxylic acid (l-4-oxapipecolic acid) by base-mediated cyclization of 0(2-chloroethyl)-L-serine.[253] Similarly, (4S)-tetrahydro-2//-1, 3-oxazine-4-carboxylic acid (L-5-oxapipecolic acid, 19) is obtained from L-homoserine by reaction with aqueous formaldehyde under alkaline conditions 173 ... 

Tetrahydro-l,3-oxazines are normally assumed to adopt a chair conformation in which the NH bond has an axial orientation. This view is substantiated by NMR spectroscopy and also by dipole moment analysis <73JCS(P2)325). The ring system is not stable and, for example, when the parent molecule is allowed to stand, it slowly ring opens and then forms a trimer (Scheme 33) (78AF937). In acidic media ring fission is accelerated and the open-chair imines may then hydrolyze. This property has been utilized in the synthesis of aldehydes as previously noted (see Section 2.27.2.2.4(0). 

Both tetrahydro-l,4-oxazine (morpholine) and its thia analogue (thiomorpholine) find application as solvents and bases, morpholine having particular value in synthesis as it is often used to prepare enamines from ketones with a free a-hydrogen atom. TV-Acylation and -alkylation are readily accomplished and a great diversity of TV-substituted morpholines and thiomorpholines are encountered in the patent literature, some having biological activity. 

The scope of the synthesis was extended by using a 2-vinyloxazine, which led to the formation of propionaldehyde derivatives.227 Another modification of the aldehyde synthesis started with quaternary salts that were treated with sodium hydride, alkylated, then reduced with sodium borohydride to tetrahydro-l,3-oxazines.229...
