Oxazine derivatives R 0595 2-[6-Alkyl-3-hetaryl-4-oxo-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-chromeno[8,7-e][1,3]oxazin--9-yl]acetic Acids. -The possibility of aminomethylating 3-hetarylchromones with formaldehyde and amino acids is investigated. Aminomethylation at position 8 of the chromone only occurrs in the case of glycine (III) and chromone (VIII) possessing an isoxazolyl moiety, whereas with other hetarylchromones acetic acid derivatives (IV) are formed. Similarly, reaction of chromone (Ia) with formaldehyde (II) and β-alanine (VI) affords the β-substituted propionic acid (VII). Proline does not participate in the interaction of two molecules of chromones (Ia) and (Ib) with a molecule of (II) furnishing bischromonylmethanes (V). -(GORBULENKO, N. V.; TKACHUK, T.
