An approach to access functionalized 3,4-dihydro-1,3-oxazin-2-ones has been developed by reacting semicyclic N,O-acetals 5 and 6 with ynamides 7 or terminal alkynes 8 in a one-pot fashion. The reaction went through a formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition process to generate a number of functionalized 3,4-dihydro-1,3-oxazin-2-ones 9a-9ak and 10a-10bc in yields of 34-97%. In addition, the utility of this transformation was demonstrated by the synthesis of (±)-sedamine 13.
