Abstract
Diels-Alder cycloaddition of N′-oxazolyl-N,N-dimethylalkylamidines 1a,b with electron-poor dienophiles were performed, leading to new 2-phenoxymethyl-6-formyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines and 2-phenoxymethyl-6-nitro-2,3-dihydro-5H-oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines. The regio and endo diastereoselectivity of one [4+2] cycloadduct 4 was established through the single-crystal X-ray structure determination of 4a. The diastereoselectivity could be related to a potential π-stacking interaction.
Key words

Experimental Procedure for Preparation of Compound 4a. A solution of 1a (1.5 g, 6.10 mmol), and β-nitrostyrene (6.10 mmol) in benzene (60 mL) was heated at reflux for 30 h. The reaction mixture was then kept at r.t. for 15 h. A yellow solid was obtained which was removed, washed with chloroform and petroleum ether repeatedly several times and dried to afford 4a as yellow crystals (51%): mp 249 °C. IR (KBr): 1615 (C=N) cm-1. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ = 8.25 (s, 1 H, H-7), 7.44 (m, 5 H, H-Ar.), 7.23 (t, J = 7.65 Hz, 2 H, H-3′ and H-5′), 6.95 (t, J = 7.65 Hz, 1 H, H-4′), 6.71 (d, J = 7.65 Hz, 2 H, H-2′ and H-6′), 5.97 (s, 1 H, H-5), 5.32 (m, 1 H, H-2), 4.23 (dd, J = 11.85 and 1.90 Hz, 1 H, H-3a), 3.97 (dd, J = 8.80 and 3.60 Hz, 1 H, OCH 2a), 3.93 (dd, J = 11.85 and 2.35 Hz, 1 H, H-3b), 3.22 (dd, J = 8.80 and 6.90 Hz, 1 H, OCH 2b). 13C NMR (DMSO-d6): δ = 162.2 (C-8a), 157.9 (C-1′), 150.5 (C-1′′), 137.9 (C-7), 129.6 (C-3′ and C-5′), 129.1 (C-4′′), 129.0 (C-3′′ and C-5′′), 128.0 (C-2′ and C-6′), 127.0 (C-6), 121.3 (C-4′), 114.5 (C-2′′ and C-6′′), 77.6 (C-2), 67.1 (OCH2), 58.0 (C-5), 45.9 (C-3).
