Enantioselective synthesis of [1,2]-oxazinone scaffolds and [1,2]-oxazine core structures of FR900482

Several chiral unsaturated [1,2]-oxazinone heterocycles have been synthesized by iridium-catalyzed allylic substitution and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction in high yields with excellent enantiomeric excesses. In addition, the synthesis of [1,2]-oxazine core structures of FR900482 was achieved via iridium-catalyzed allylic substitution, followed by RCM and Heck reactions, respectively.
