A. Pascual et al., Synthesis of 8-substituted 5H,9H-6-oxa-7-azabenzocyclononene-10,11-dione-11-O-methyloximes, a new [1,2]-oxazonine ring system, TETRAHEDR L, 41(9), 2000, pp. 1381-1384
Reaction of (2-bromomethyl-phenyl)-methoxyimino-acetic acid methyl ester 4
with oximes 1 in the presence of NaH/DMF yields 8-substituted 5H,9H-6-oxa-7
-aza-benzocyclononene-10,11-dione-11-O-methyloximes 3 together with the exp
ected open chain compounds 2. Some spectroscopic data as well as synthetic
and mechanistic aspects of the formation of the novel compounds 3 are discu
ssed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
