Iodocarbamation of N-Homopropargyl Carbamates: Mild and Stereoselective Entry to Functionalized Oxazinan-2-ones

An efficient and general iodocarbamation of benzyl N-homopropargylcarbamates has been developed by using iodine as the electrophilic agent. This regio- and stereoselective cyclization yielded (E)-6-iodomethyleneoxazinan-2-ones, which can be further transformed through palladium cross-coupling reactions followed by hydrogenation to produce 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones.
