Several novel 2-aryl-1,3-oxazinane and 2-aryl-1,3-oxazolidine derivatives were synthesized from N-benzyl-2-piperidineethanols and N-benzyl-2-piperidinemethanols, respectively, by using electrooxidative methods in methanol. For these reactions, the yields of the corresponding cyclized compounds were significantly increased by using catalytic amounts of iodide ions. In contrast, 3-dialkylamino-1-phenylpropanols afforded the expected cyclic 6-phenyl-1,3-oxazinane derivatives using only a small excess of base.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
