Abstract

A chiral Lewis base organocatalyzed enantioselective hydrosilylation of 1,4-benzoxazines is presented. The reactions ­afforded various enantioenriched 3-substituted dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazines with high yields (up to 98%) in moderate enantioselectivities (up to 87% ee).

  • 9 Enantioselective Hydrosilylation of Benzoxazine; General Procedure: Trichlorosilane (51 μL, 0.5 mmol, 2.0 equiv) dissolved in THF (0.15 mL) was added to a stirred solution of 1,4-benzoxazine 2 (0.25 mmol) and catalyst (0.025 mmol) in anhydrous THF (2 mL) at 0 °C. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 12 h, then quenched with sat. aq NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc. The combined extract was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and the solvents were evaporated. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel; hexane–EtOAc) afforded pure product 3. The ee values were determined by using established HPLC techniques with chiral stationary phases
