Baylis-Hillman reaction assisted synthesis of substituted 5,8-dihydro-isoxazolo[4,5-c]azepin-4-one: A novel isoxazole-annulated heterocycle

The novel synthesis of a new isoxazole-annulated heterocycle namely 5,8-dihydro-isoxazolo[4,5-c]azepin-4-one described herein is based on the reaction of benzyl amine with acetates of Baylis-Hillman adducts generated from 3-aryl-5-formyl-isoxazole-4-carboxylate

Alternate, Easy and practical synthesis of allyl amines from acetyl derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts using Methanolic Ammonia

A methanolic ammonia-mediated alternate, easy and practical stereoselective synthesis of allyl amines from the acetyl derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts is described.

A reinvestigation into the reaction of NH4OAc with acetyl derivatives of Bay-lis-Hillman adducts: Formation of tertiary and secondary allyl amines in-stead of primary allyl amines

A reinvestigation into the reaction between ammonium acetate and the acetyl derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts has led us to conclude that the products obtained are tertiary and secondary allyl amines and not the primary allyl amines. The unambiguous assignment of the structure of products using chemical and spectroscopic methods is described

Application of primary allyl amines afforded by the Baylis-Hillman adducts for heterocyclic synthesis: Generation of 5-benzyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinones and 2-benzylidene-2,3-dihydro-pyrrolizin-1-ones

The applications of the primary allyl amines afforded by the acetyl derivative of Baylis-Hillman adducts of acrylate for the synthesis of heterocycles using robust reactions are described. In the first strategy a one-pot synthesis of 5-benzyl-4(3H)-pyrimidinones have been achieved via N-formylation of the amines in the presence of neat formamide followed by ammonium formate-mediated cyclization. These pyrimidinones have been demonstrated to be excellent precursor to the 4-pyridinamine derivatives. In the second strategy the synthesis of 2-benzylidene-2,3-dihydro-pyrrolizin-1-ones have been accomplished via treatment of allyl amine with dimethoxyfuran followed by saponification and PPA-mediated intramolecular cyclization.
