Application

Employed in a synthesis of trichloroacetimidates by DBU catalyzed addition of allylic alcohols and the subsequent study of the MOM catalyzed aza-Claisen rearrangement. Also used to prepare bistrichloroacetimidates from diols leading to dihyrooxazines via acid catalyzed cyclization.

An efficient synthesis of chiral dihydrooxazines (2) from 1-aryl-2-amino-propane-1,3-diols (1) via the corresponding bistrichloroacetimidate intermediates has been developed. In this transformation, one trichloroacetimidate acts as a leaving group and the other acts as a nucleophile. The cyclization proceeds through an
