Abstract:
A new internal, base-mediated redox-cyclisation reaction has been discovered and developed. In this transformation, the sacrificial reduction of an alkynyl moiety to an alkene allows direct functionalisation of an α-amino C-H bond. This approach allows the preparation of several 1,3-oxazinane derivatives in an atom-efficient manner.
