Abstract
The five-membered cyclic ketene- N, O-acetal, 2-oxazolidin-2-ylidene-1-phenylethanone 1, and its anion 2, formed on deprotonation, are ambident nucleophiles. Compound 1 was synthesized by benzoylation of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline to give a ring-opened N,C,O-trisbenzoylation product, 9, followed by N,O-double debenzoylation using methanolic KOH. Compound 1 reacted with benzoyl chloride to give N,C,O-trisbenzoylated 9, and reacted with phenyl chloroformate to give the similar ring-opened carbonic acid 3-[(2-chloro-ethyl)-phenoxycarbonyl-amino]-3-oxo-1-phenyl-propenyl ester phenyl ester, 13. In contrast, ambident anion 2 reacted with benzoyl chloride to give the β,β-bisbenzoylated cyclic ketene- N, O-acetal, 16, and reacted with phenyl chloroformate to give the novel heterocycle 3-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-6-phenyl-[1,3]oxazine-2,4-dione, 17.
