Solid Phase Synthesis of (Benzannelated) Six-Membered Heterocycles via Cyclative Cleavage of Resin-Bound Pseudo-Oxazolones.

A solid supported procedure for the synthesis of benzoxazinones, dihydropyrazinones, quinoxalinones, and dihydrooxazinones using immobilized oxazolones in combination with difunctional nucleophiles as cleavage agent is presented. The scope of the novel method has been demonstrated through subsequent modification of the parent oxazolone scaffold on solid supports using conversions with electrophiles or CuAAC reactions to give functionalized pyrazin-2-ones. The described method allows the synthesis of the target heterocycles in good yields via three to five steps on solid phases with only one chromatographic purification step.
