Abstract

A new, efficient, and practical radical cyclization of olefinic amides with ketones through α-C(sp3)–H functionalization in the presence of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) is described for the first time. This protocol assembles a wide range of pivotal and useful benzoxazines in good to excellent yields under mild, catalyst-free, ligand-free, and base-free conditions with wide functional group tolerance. Moreover, the mechanistic study indicates that the α-carbonyl radical is involved in this transformation.

  • 11 General Procedure To a Schlenk tube were added olefinic amides 1 (0.2 mmol), ketones 2 (1.0 mL), and TBPB (2.0 equiv). Then the tube was stirred at 120 °C sealed in air for the indicated time until complete consumption of starting material as monitored by TLC and/or GC–MS analysis. After the reaction was finished, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the mixture was purified by flash column chromatography over silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate = 10:1) to afford the desired product 3 and was analyzed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy (see the Supporting Information).
