Facile entry into structurally diverse, privileged, (hetero)arene-fused N-alkoxy 3,4-dihydrobenzo[f][1,4]oxazepin-5(2H)-ones
文摘
Rare tricyclic N-alkoxy benzo[1,4]oxazepines synthesized via a novel strategy. Involves a tandem SNAr – Smiles rearrangement – SNAr process. O-Alkyl hydroxamic acids react with bis-electrophilic (hetero)aromatic compounds. N-Hydroxy compounds can be obtained by O-dealkylation. Free hydroxamic acids do not react in the same way and undergo Lossen rearrangement.
