“…GC analyses of amides 3a – c and 4a – c were performed by using a Shimadzu GC‐2010 instrument with a ZB‐5 capillary column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm). Racemic 3,4‐dihydro‐3‐methyl‐2 H ‐[1,4]benzoxazine ( 1a ), 7,8‐difluoro‐3,4‐dihydro‐3‐methyl‐2 H ‐[1,4]benzoxazine ( 1b ),[9a] their ( S )‐ enantiomers ( S )‐ 1a and ( S )‐ 1b [5b],[9b, c] and the racemic acids 5a ,[10b] 5b [10c] and 5c [10a] were prepared according to previously reported procedures. Acyl chloride 2a and amides ( R *, S* )‐ 3a and ( R *, S* )‐ 4a have been described earlier.…”
