Hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of phosphorylated nitroso alkenes with enol ethers on water: a clean approach toward 1,2-oxazine derivatives
Abstract
A concise and eco-friendly synthesis of highly functionalized 1,2-oxazines from phosphinyl- and phosphonyl-nitroso alkenes has been developed. The key step of this process, which involves a two-step sequence of reactions on-water, is a regioselective hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction of enol ethers to 4-phosphinyl or 4-phosphonyl nitroso alkenes mediated by water itself. The process has also been performed under solvent-free conditions and in organic solvents for comparison.
