Abstract

Peracid oxidation of imino ethers results in the formation of 3-alkoxyoxaziranes. The oxidation of the 2-alkoxyazetines 15, 18, and 22 leads to unstable l-aza-5-oxabicyclo [2. lO] pentanes and Baeyer-Villiger products, 2-alkoxy-2-oxazolines. The product distribution depends upon the substitution at the migrating center. These 2-alkoxy-2-oxazoline products represent the first examples of Baeyer-Villiger type oxidation of imines. The oxaziranes 9 ...
