Abstract

Functionalized 4-aryl-4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazines are synthesized under transition-metal-free conditions using ortho-amide-N-tosylhydrazones. This synthetic method uses readily available N-tosylhydrazones as the diazo compound precursors and involves an intramolecular ring closure reaction mediated by a protic polar additive (iPrOH). A wide range of functionalized oxazines are obtained by this straightforward method in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the viability of our strategy is illustrated by the gram-scale elaboration of a bromo-substituted 4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazine and its post-functionalization by palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings.
