Abstract

(5R)-4-Methyl-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazinan-2-one was synthesized from (R)-phenylglycine in five steps and in 65% overall yield. In addition, a convenient and practical method for N-acyl­ation of 1,3,4-oxadiazinan-2-one directly with acids in the presence of DCC and catalytic quantities of DMAP is described. The acyl­ated products were obtained in excellent yields.

Key words

(R)-phenylglycine - 1,3,4-oxadiazinan-2-ones - heterocycles - acylation - carboxylic acids
