Solid-supported nitroso hetero-Diels-Alder reactions. 3. Acid-mediated transformation of cycloadducts by scission of the oxazine C-O bonds.

Polymer-supported dihydro[1,2]oxazine derivatives were prepared by acyl- and arylnitroso hetero-Diels-Alder reactions and exposed to strong (trifluoroacetic) acid during cleavage from resin-bound linkers. Cycloadducts prepared from cyclic dienes containing electron-donating substituents at the C6 oxazine carbon promoted formation of carbocations by cleavage of the C-O bond. The carbocations were quenched by nucleophilic reagents including triethylsilane, water, and alcohols and provided access to novel derivatives of N-alkyl hydroxamates. Products were submitted to biological assays, and the results are reported.
