Abstract: | In the course of our studies on the chemistry of oxyallyl species we uncovered a new (3+2) cycloaddition of aza-oxyallyl systems, generated in situ from N-benzyloxy-2-chloroamides in the presence of NEt3, onto N-arylimines yielding imidazolidin-4-ones in moderate to good yields. The cycloadditions are regioselective. Computational modeling using DFT at the M062x/6-311+G7 level is in support the observed regioselectivities. Although the path to the trans imidazolin-4-one is favored, the cis product is preferred by almost 8?kcal/mol and could be formed by base-catalyzed epimerization. All products were isolated by chromatography and characterized by means of their FTIR, NMR and HRMS data. |
