Ag2O-promoted ring-opening reactions of cyclopropenones with oximes†
Abstract
Ag2O-promoted ring-opening reactions of cyclopropenones with oximes is disclosed in this work, providing a direct route to 1,3-oxazinones. This method highlights a new reactivity of cyclopropenones which undergo 1,4-addition with oximes followed by β-carbon elimination to in situ generate a α-carbonyl ketene intermediate.
