Synthesis of perhydroxazin-4-ones. Competitive Mukaiyama versus hetero Diels-Alder reaction in the cycloaddition of 2-aza-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene and aldehydes
A. Bongini et al., Synthesis of perhydroxazin-4-ones. Competitive Mukaiyama versus hetero Diels-Alder reaction in the cycloaddition of 2-aza-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene and aldehydes, TETRAHEDR-A, 12(3), 2001, pp. 439-454
The reactions of 2-aza-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene with carbonyl dien
ophiles are described. 2-Aza-1,3-butadienes participate as dienes in the [4
+2] cycloaddition with aldehydes to afford perhydroxazin-4-ones in good yie
lds. Experimental results, however, show that a Mukaiyama type two-step rea
ction must be taken into account. The cycloadducts obtained have proved to
be useful intermediates in the synthesis of alpha -amino-beta -hydroxy acid
