Abstract

An I2/ tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-mediated oxidative coupling reaction of isocyanides with amino-based bisnucleophiles is described for the synthesis of 2-aminobenzoxazinones, 2-aminobenzoxazines, and 2-aminoquinozolines in moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, this method provides a simple and practical method to construct potential functionalized biologically active molecules.
