Abstract
The regio- and diastereoselective construction of biologically relevant cyclic carbamates under operationally simple and mild transition-metal-free conditions is challenging and has led to a demand for efficient methods for their synthesis. The intramolecular ring-opening cyclization of N-Boc-tethered epoxides leading to the formation of cyclic carbamates is equipped with many favorable synthetic features, including easy accessibility of starting materials in a stereodefined form, high diversification points in the substrates, and a favorable entropy factor. However, its use in the construction of 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones remains largely neglected. Specifically, prior to 2020, only few 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones were successfully synthesized using this strategy. Moreover, our very own recent attempt to access these heterocycles using one-carbon-tethered N-Boc–epoxide pairs was met with little success as the process furnished either only 1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones or nearly equal amounts of 1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones and 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones. Herein, we demonstrate that when the epoxide and N-Boc moieties are connected by a two-carbon tether, the cyclization could deliver 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones containing vicinal stereocenters, as sole regioisomers and diastereomers in high yields (up to 95% yield), irrespective of whether the distal epoxide substituent is alkyl or aryl, or the epoxide is cis- or trans-configured.

- 16 From the experience of our previous work in this area (see ref. 14), we knew that the two possible regioisomeric products, if formed, always would have a significantly large difference in their Rf values. Since TLC analysis of the crude products showed only one spot in each case of the present work, we were sure about the formation of only one regioisomer in each case without NMR analysis of all crude compounds.
- 17 Noteworthy, intramolecular epoxide ring-opening cyclization processes often deliver the smaller-ring exo-products dominantly over the regioisomeric, larger-ring endo-products. In such processes, however, electronically biasing the epoxide ring with a directing group (such as an aryl, vinyl, trimethylsilyl, nitro, or cyano group) may generate the endo-products as the major/sole products.
