Abstract

Traffic control: The hydroxy functional group directs the α-functionalization of tertiary amines, synthesizing 1,3-oxazines by C-O bond formation. Reaction occurs with both benzylic and non-benzylic amines. In the case of naphthoxazine synthesis, 100 % diastereoselectivity was observed. A tentative two-pathway mechanism is proposed for the reaction.
