Este trabalho apresenta a síntese de duas novas séries de 6-trifluormetil-1,3-oxazinanas N-substituídas e 6-trifluormetil-1,3-oxazinan-2-onas N-substituídas, a partir da ciclização de 4-ilamino-1,1,1-trifluor-butan-2-óis com formaldeído e trifosgênio, respectivamente. Os 4-ilamino-1,1,1-trifluor-butan-2-óis foram obtidos através da reação de redução dos precursores 4-ilamino-1,1,1-trifluor-but-3-en-2-onas, utilizando hidrogênio e 10% Pd/C, com bons rendimentos.This work reports the synthesis of two new series of N-substituted 6-trifluoromethyl-1,3-oxazinanes and N-substituted 6-trifluoromethyl-1,3-oxazinan-2-ones from the cyclization of 4-ylamino-1,1,1-trifluoro-butan-2-ols with formaldehyde and triphosgene, respectively. The 4-ylamino-1,1,1-trifluoro-butan-2-ols were obtained in good yields from the reduction of the parent 4-ylamino-1,1,1-trifluoro-but-3-en-2-ones with hydrogen and 10% Pd/C.

Special attention has been given to these compounds since the development of Efavirenz, a trifluoromethyl-1,3-oxazin-2-one, which is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor that shows high activity against a variety of HIV-1 mutant strains. 1 Although, 1,3-oxazinanes have not been used as extensively as the parent 1,3-oxazines, probably due to the difficulties to synthesize the saturated 1,3-oxazine ring with a wide range of substituents, 1,3-oxazinanes exhibit a variety of biological activities. Just to mention a few, they are being explored as anti-inflammatory and agents for treating ulcers, allergies, asthma, arthritis, and diabetes. 2 1,3-Oxazinanes have been used as key intermediates in the synthesis of thrombolytic agents, 3 liquid crystal devices, 4 chiral auxiliaries in organic synthesis, 5,6 and 1,3-amino alcohols, 7-10 and β-carbolines. 11 The synthesis of 1,3-oxazinanes, is much less developed than the parent 1,3-oxazines and there are not many available synthesis for 1,3-oxazinanes described in the literature. One of the first methods reported to synthesize 5-nitro-5-alkyl-1,3-oxazinanes, from the reaction of a primary nitroalkane with formaldehyde and ammonia or primary amines, was explored in the fifties and sixties. 12 Another method to synthesize 1,3-oxazinanes is by peracid-induced ring opening of isoxazolidines derived from the reaction of nitrones and alkenes. 13 A chiral approach to the synthesis of 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones utilizes aspartic acid as the starting material in a multistep procedure that includes the formation of an epoxide containing a Cbz-protected arylamine as the key intermediate. The synthesis continues with the epoxide ring opening by sodium azide followed by an intramolecular cyclization of the hydroxy group with the benzylcarbamate group to give the desired 1,3-oxazinan-2-one. 14 1,3-Oxazinan-2-ones were also obtain...
