I₂/TBHP-Mediated Oxidative Coupling of Amino-Based Bisnucleophiles and Isocyanides: Access to 2-Aminobenzoxazinones, 2-Aminobenzoxazines, and 2-Aminoquinazolines under Metal-Free Conditions

Abstract

An I₂/ tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-mediated oxidative coupling reaction of isocyanides with amino-based bisnucleophiles is described for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzoxazinones, 2-aminobenzoxazines, and 2-aminoquinozolines in moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, this method provides a simple and practical method to construct potential functionalized biologically active molecules.
