INTRAMOLECULAR RING-CLEAVAGE OF CHIRAL TERPENOID-DERIVED OXAZINONE VIA ASYMMETRIC ANTI-ALDOL REACTION - UNEXPECTED ENTRY TO A N-SUBSTITUTEDTETRAHYDRO-1,3-OXAZINE-2,4-DIONE DERIVATIVE
Tr. Abbas et al., INTRAMOLECULAR RING-CLEAVAGE OF CHIRAL TERPENOID-DERIVED OXAZINONE VIA ASYMMETRIC ANTI-ALDOL REACTION - UNEXPECTED ENTRY TO A N-SUBSTITUTEDTETRAHYDRO-1,3-OXAZINE-2,4-DIONE DERIVATIVE, Tetrahedron letters, 38(27), 1997, pp. 4917-4920
In the presence of excess Bu2BOTf to promote anti-selectivity, an asym
metric aldol reaction with a homochiral terpenoid-derived 1,3-oxazin-2
-one as the chiral control element results unexpectedly in ring cleava
ge by an intramolecular process to form a N-substituted tetrahydro-1,3
-oxazine-2,4-dione in virtually quantitative yield. (C) 1997 Elsevier
