SYNTHESIS AND TAUTOMERISM OF KETENE N,O-ACETALS WITH BENZOXAZOLINE RING

Benzoxazoline ring substituted ketene N,O-acetals 3 were synthesized by the reaction of ketene S,S-acetals 2 with 2-aminophenol.The tautomeric equilibrium of some 3 was also observed.

SO₄^2-/SnO₂-Catalyzed C3-alkylation of 4-hydroxycoumarin with secondary benzyl alcohols and <i>O</i>-alkylation with <i>O</i>-acetyl compounds

Sulfated tin oxide (STO) has been found to be an efficient reusable solid superacid catalyst for C3-alkylation and O-alkylation of 4-hydroxycoumarins with benzylic, allylic alcohols/and corresponding acetates respectively, in acetic acid under reflux conditions with good yield of products.

Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Formal Hydroaminomethylation of Alkenes with N,O-Acetals to Access Chiral β-Stereogenic Amines: Dual Functions of the Copper Catalyst

Chiral amines are synthetically versatile intermedi-ates used for the preparation of a wide range of biologically active compounds and drugs.Compared with the well-developed synthesis ofα-stereogenic amines,the establishment of enantioselective protocols to accessβ-stereogenic amines are very limited.
