Abstract
Experiments concerning the photochemical condensation of 3‐phenyl‐2__H__‐azirines 1 with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes to 3‐oxazolines 4 are fully described (cf. scheme 1). Photochemically nitrile methylides of type 2 are first formed, which then very quickly react thermally with the aldehydes in a regiospecific manner to give the 3‐oxazolines 4. Azirines monosubstituted in position 2 (lb and 1c) give mixtures of cis, trans‐oxazoline isomers, in which the cis isomer predominates. The stereoselectivity of the cycloaddition reaction can be rationalized by a simple model (scheme 10).
The stereoisomeric 3‐oxazolines 4 are distinguishable in the NMR. spectra by the large homoallylic coupling constants between the H atoms on C(2) and C(5).
