Copper Catalyzed Inverse Electron Demand [4+2] Cycloaddition for the Synthesis of Oxazines

Abstract

A copper catalyzed tandem CuAAC/ring cleavage/[4+2] annulation reaction of terminal ynones, sulfonyl azides, and imines has been developed to synthesize the functionalized oxazines under mild conditions. Particularly, the intermediate N-sulfonyl acylketenimines undergo cycloaddition of an inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reaction with imines and a series of 1,3-oxazine derivatives were obtained successfully in good yields.
