Rearrangement of 3-alkylidene-2-siloxy-tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines (ASENA). A new approach toward the synthesis of 3-α-hydroxyalkyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazines

A new approach toward the synthesis of 3-α-hydroxyalkyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazines 1 from available 5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazine N-oxides 2 has been described. The key step of the process—the rearrangement of 3-alkiliden-2-siloxy-tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines 3 (ASENA)—was thoroughly investigated. Optimal experimental conditions were developed. A possible pathway of the ASENA rearrangement was proposed.
