E. Dumez et Jp. Dulcere, SYNTHESIS AND REACTIVITY OF ALPHA-ALLENYLHYDROXYLAMINES - A NEW EFFICIENT ACCESS TO 3,6-DIHYDRO-1,2-OXAZINES, Chemical communications, (4), 1998, pp. 479-480
SmI2-promoted reduction of alpha-allenyl nitro derivatives 2a-f using
controlled conditions provides either 3-amino-4-vinylidenetetrahydrofu
ran 3a or 3-hydroxylamino-4-vinylidenetetrahydrofurans 4b-f, which und
ergo intramolecular cyclization consistent with a reverse Cope elimina
tion to afford 3,6-dihydro-1,2-oxazines 5b-f.
