Abstract

A one-pot green synthesis of 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones from amines and 1,3-diols in the presence of a dialkyl carbonate and potassium tert-butoxide is described. Four dialkyl carbonates were utilised: dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, diprop-2-yl carbonate, and tert-butyl methyl carbonate. The more hindered the dialkyl carbonate used, the higher the yield of 1,3-oxazinan-2-one. Four 1,3-diols were reacted having primary–primary, primary–secondary, primary–tertiary, and secondary–tertiary functionalities, with the yield of oxazinanone decreasing with increasing hindrance of the diol. In the case of the diols containing primary and either secondary or tertiary functionality, the substituent(s) were selectively found in the 6-position of the so-formed oxazinanone. The optimized conditions were then employed with different nucleophiles, namely phenylhydrazine, aniline, and n-octylamine.

• 15 3-Benzyl-6,6-dimethyl-1,3-oxazinan-2-one (3) was isolated by combining the reaction products from entries 2–4 (Table 3) prior to column chromatography. Due to many byproducts having similar R_f values to that of 3, only a small amount was isolated
• 16 Product 4 was attributed to this low yield compound as HPLC retention time and GC–MS data were consistent with such an oxazinanone
