Abstract

A novel and efficient stereocontrolled method has been developed for the preparation of chiral 3,4-dihydro-2H-naphtho[1,2-b][1,4]oxazin-2-ones by the reaction of benzoxepine-4-carboxylates with chiral amino acid ethyl esters for the first time. The chiral 3,4-dihydro-2H-naphtho-1,4-oxazinones have been achieved in one step by the formation of C-N, C-C, and C-O bonds.
