Abstract
N-(2-Oxiranylphenyl)carbodiimides, which were synthesized via an aza-Wittig reaction of the corresponding functionalized iminophosphoranes with aromatic and aliphatic isocyanates, underwent O-, S-, C-, or N-nucleophilic addition onto a cumulene, followed by an epoxy ring-opening cyclization with the newly formed NH-nucleophile in a one-pot reaction to furnish 2,3-disubstituted 4-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazolines in a highly stereospecific manner. |
