A series of new naphtho [1, 2-e][1, 3] oxazine derivatives such as trans-1, 3-diaryl-1 H- naphtho [1, 2-e][1, 3] oxazine-2 (3 H)-carbonyl chloride, 1-aryl-2-benzyl-1, 2-dihydronaphtho [1, 2-e][1, 3] oxazine-3-one, and trans-1, 3-diaryl-1 H-naphtho [1, 2-e][1, 3] oxazine-2 (3 H)- carbaldehyde were selectively synthesized via a chemoselective reaction of 1, 3-diaryl-2, 3- dihydro-1 H-naphtho [1, 2-e][1, 3] oxazines and triphosgene or triethyl orthoformate, ...
