Base‐Mediated Decarboxylative [3+2] Annulation of Ethynyl Benzoxazinanones and Benzimidamides: Synthesis of Imidazole Derivatives

Abstract A base‐mediated decarboxylative [3+2] annulation of trimethylsilylethynyl benzoxazinanones and benzimidamides hydrochloride was achieved under mild reaction conditions to give various imidazole derivatives in high yields. Notably, it demonstrated a new reaction mode of alkynyl benzoxazinanones. magnified image
