Electronic halocyclization and radical haloazidation of benzene-linked 1,7-dienes for the synthesis of functionalized 3,1-benzoxazines†
Abstract
A novel electronic halocyclization and radical haloazidation of benzene-linked 1,7-dienes for the formation of functionalized 3,1-benzoxazines has been achieved by using TMSN3 as an azido source and NBS as a halogen source. This methodology is highlighted by its mild conditions and wide substrate scope, which concomitantly introduces one C–N and two C–halogen bonds into one molecule.
