“…Thus, the development of simple, efficient and green procedure for the synthesis of these molecules is highly desirable. In continuation of our efforts to develop a simple and economical methodology for the synthesis of target compounds of biological interests, we have successfully developed an efficient and eco-friendly synthetic strategy [14] for the construction of a series of 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo [e][1,3]oxazines (2a-n), 1,2-bis [3,4-dihydrobenzo-[e][1,3]oxazin-3(4H)-yl]ethanes (3a-d), 2,3-dihydro-1H-naphtho-[1,2-e][1,3]oxazines (4a-j) and 3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho [2,1-e][1,3]oxazine (5) in good to excellent yields via Mannich type condensation-cyclization reaction of phenols or naphthols with HCHO and primary amines in water at ambient temperature (Scheme 1). The structures of all the synthesized molecules were confirmed by elemental analyses and spectral (IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and mass) data.…”
