Synthesis and structural characterization of 1,4,2-oxazaphosphepines is described. The 1,4,2-oxazaphosphepines were obtained from reaction of chiral 1,3-benzoxazines with dichlorophenylphosphine or triethyl phosphite. The configuration of some of these compounds was stablished by X-ray analysis.
Keywords: 1,3-benzoxazines; 1,4,2-oxazaphosphepines; aminophenols; chiral o-hydroxybenzylamines.
