Synthesis of 2-amino-4H-3,1-benzoxazines and 2-amino-4H-3,1-benzothiazines by the rearrangement of o-cyclopropylphenylureas and o-cyclopropylphenylthioureas
Syntheses are reported for 2-cyclopropylphenylureas and 2-cyclopropylphenylthioureas and the behavior of these compounds was studied under conditions for the acid-catalyzed opening of the cyclopropyl ring. Upon the action of concentrated sulfuric acid or trifluoroacetic acid, these ureas and thioureas can undergo rearrangement to the corresponding 3,1-benzoxazines and 3,1-benzothiazines.
