An original two-step process for the synthesis of [1,4]oxazepin-2-ones starting from Baylis-Hillman (BH) adducts is reported. The protocol involves a nucleophilic substitution of the acetates of BH adducts with renewable natural alpha-amino esters followed by base-catalyzed intramolecular Michael addition. These sequential reactions are operationally simple, performed under ambient conditions, and give 81-93% yields of the target [1,4]oxazepin-2-ones. Thus, the present invention opens up a new aspect for the synthetic utility of BH adducts. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
