Title: Metal‐Free Synthesis of Oxazolidine‐2,4‐diones and 3,3‐Disubstituted Oxindoles via ICl‐Induced Cyclization
Abstract: A metal‐free method for the construction of oxazolidine‐2,4‐diones and oxindoles was discussed. Using iodine monochloride (ICl) as both the reaction promoter and iodide source, the iodolactonization of N ‐Boc acrylamides proceeded readily and provided the corresponding iodo oxazolidine‐2,4‐diones and oxazolidin‐2‐ones in good isolated yields. The obtained oxazolidine‐2,4‐diones can be used as key intermediates in the synthesis of toloxatone. When N ‐alkyl‐ N ‐arylacrylamide derivatives were subjected to the same reaction, iodocarbocyclization products 3,3‐disubstituted oxindoles were obtained. The obtained oxindoles can be used as key intermediates in the synthesis of the alkaloids (±)‐esermethole and (±)‐physostigmine.
