Abstract
1,4-Benzoxazin-3-one is a scaffold which is found in a variety of biologically active molecules. Because of its unique structure and drug-like activities, 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones have been widely used in drug discovery. However, just a few methods have been developed to access these molecules by catalytic asymmetric synthesis. We report herein the phase-transfer-catalysed asymmetric alkylation of 2-aryl-1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones as a new way for the highly enantioselective synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones.
