Abstract

Abstract The intramolecular Schmidt reaction of simple azido secondary benzyl alcohols has been realized for the first time. Investigation of the electronic and steric effects of the substrates on the product outcome was conducted. Unique intramolecular Schmidt rearrangements were observed with the formation of a cinnamaldehyde derivative and aryl aldehydes, respectively. Using this protocol, an efficient synthesis of dihydrobenzotriazine ...
