Abstract

3, 4-Dihydro-1, 4-benzoxazin-2-one was prepared for the first time by catalytic hydrogenation of 4-benzyl-3, 4-dihydro-1, 4-benzoxazin-2-one. A simple and efficient synthesis of 4-benzyl-and 4-alkyl-3, 4-dihydro-1, 4-benzoxazin-2-one derivatives from ethyl 2-(2-hydroxyphenylamino) acetate and aldehydes is described. Some considerations regarding the reactivity of 3, 4-dihydro-1, 4-benzoxazin-2-ones are given.
